I created a screw in bone block model. The screw has a helical thread on it's surface and the hole in bone matches the surface of the screw.
I am trying to create a surface to surface contact interaction between the screw and bone but I do not know how to select the "whole surface" of the screw...
Hi,
I am trying to model a bone block with 2 layers with different material properties, cortical bone and cancellous bone. The two layers should act as one body. How do I do that?
Thanks
hi,
I am testing the stresses in bone around screws mechanically drilled in bone. I drew screw and bone block models in Solidworks and then imported the X_T files in abaqus.
I have a few questions on my model:
1- How can I drill the screw hole in the bone block? I used the merge/cut command...
Hi,
I am a newbie and I am trying to learn the basics. I am doing a FE study on miniscrews in bone. I drew a 3D model of a screw in Solidworks. The design includes a helical modified buttress thread which is necessary for the analysis. When I load the x_t file in abaqus I get the following...
I know these are some really basic questions but I appreciate your help since I started using SW less than a month ago. I am using version 2008 SP0.0.
1- How do I resize a part proportionally and unproportionally? i.e. change length but not width or vice versa?
2- How do I translate/rotate a...
Hi,
I'm trying to use Solidworks to draw 3D models of orthodontic miniscrews. I found some tutorials online and could successfully draw cylindrical screws with true helical threads (by using the swept boss feature over a helical curve), but I could not draw "tapered" screws because when I use...
