Hi, does anyone know how to model a clock spring in SolidWorks? I can draw the flat spiral using the helix/spiral tool but don't know how to then add a cross section area to it??? So it's just a line drawing at the moment! (see attached image)
Any help appreciated :)
Hi there, I have modeled a thin rubber sheet with dimensions: 0.1m * 0.1m * 0.01m, a linear elastic material with E =3MPa and nu =0.49.
I applied symmetry boundary conditions on two adjacent edges, and a uniaxial displacement loading of 0.1m normal to one of the other edges. (and NLGEOM is on)...
