spring simulation
(OP)
hi evreybody
I wanna to simulate a helical compression spring part
model.spring is oriented vertically and I wanted to
press it from top for a certain distance.how can I do
that?
Thank you!

RE: spring simulation
You cannot do this with SolidWorks. SolidWorks does not completely integrate elastic analysis with its design, modeling and drafting system.
You can do what I do, which is create multiple configurations of the spring, representing free height, solid height and the various heights that will occur in your design. If you use a design table, you can analyze for force and stress. I suspect that this is what you are after.
I have not played with CosmosWorks. There may be something you could do with that.

I have tried what u have suggested.
I have yet to try it with Cosmosworks.

RE: spring simulation
make your spring design equation dependent, controling the pitch in relation to whatever dimension controls the spring extension (can be other part's mating dimension)
