Bending the rules....
(OP)
How easy/difficult/accurate is Cosmos/Geostar when the rules get bent? IE: if I wanted to figure out how a flat washer is gonna bend (plastic deformation)when pressed between two matching conical surfaces. Can you "cheat" and trick the system into modeling accurately the forces and distributions of strain/bending? Note i'm not expecting perfection but a good approximation. I know that drawing and material flow is not really modelable w/o proper software.

Good Luck

I kno0w that there is specialized software that is made for this however I was thinking that if I built a complex enough model then I could use geostar to get some info.

My company is just getting into modeling for design and I always am reminding the boss that even thou the FEA said it would work we still have to physically test a few parts to correlate teh FEA data.
