Hello all,

Someone knows if it is possible to use a deformed component resulting from a static simulation, as a STEP part?

Thanks in advance

Suggest you check out the Solid Works forum, should be able to get to it from here http://www.eng-tips.com/threadcategory.cfm?lev2=22

The part deformation is graphical only. You can't save the file in a deformed state.

Thanks Dan,

So it is not possible to deforme a part, applying forces?
I'm looking for construct a component that its final shape is achived by a oriented force.

Thanks.

OK. I did a little digging, and it looks like you actually might be able to do it. http://help.solidworks.com/2012/English/solidworks...

You should check out forum1183: SolidWorks: Simulation/FEA (COSMOS). In fact there is already a question over there about a creased part that might answer your question.
