Using SolidWorks Simulation for Submarine
Using SolidWorks Simulation for Submarine
(OP)
Hi. I'm trying to run a simulation on a submarine at 1000ft of depth. I set it up using a constant pressure, but I'm having trouble with the 'fixtures'. In reality, nothing will be 'fixed' as it will be completely surrounded by water. I tried using the 'soft springs' option as well as adding anchor points to simulate it being tied down with ropes. I am applying pressure to all of the external surfaces, so I would expect the assembly to stay put, but instead there is a strong resultant force in the y direction, as if there is some other force acting on it. I don't have gravity turned or any other external forces. Has anyone solved a problem like this?
Thanks
Gabe

I haven't the faintest idea. In most mickey mouse programs you either doubleclick on the part in question or right click to bring up a context menu.

Can you split the submarine on any symmetry planes? You can then effectively prevent movement perpendicular to the plane with the added benefit of reducing the run time.
