Hello.
I am attempting to perform an unsteady fluid flow analysis on a nozzle in Algor, but continue to get convergence errors. The nozzle has a .25 inch inlet on the top. The outlet is a 3.6" X .03" outlet on the bottom. I set the inlet at .02 m/s and the outlet is set as a prescribed...
Hey everyone,
I'm back again with another question regarding a hip impact simulation I am running.
I have what I believe is a pretty accurate simulation running, but the results are not correct. In Algor's results window I am comparing the stresses in the neck of the femur between different...
I am trying to simulate the femur falling on the floor while including the flesh around the hip and a hip protector outside of that. The femur is pinned at the distal end and falls similar to that of a pendulum, and impacts an "impact plane".
The problem I am running into is adding mass on...
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to combine parts within an assembly. It seems to me that the only way to make one part out of two is within a part, not within an assembly. I figured there has to be a way to make all of the assembly parts one part for FEA etc. The combine...
Hi everyone,
I'm attempting to peform analysis upon the head of the femur by simulating impact on a hard surface. I am using an IGES model of the femur and a skin model that I created around the femur head. I attempted to pin the femur (at a node) in an upright position at the knee end, and...
I have a complex IGES model of the human femur, and I'm trying to surround it with an object (i.e. a cylinder) to represent the skin. The IGES part has two layers (an inner to represent bone marrow and the outer layer of bone) and I can not figure out how to combine a solid object with the...
