Use deformed part (solidworks simulation)

[richalves]

Hello all,

Someone knows if it is possible to use a deformed component resulting from a static simulation, as a STEP part?

Thanks in advance

Suggest you check out the Solid Works forum, should be able to get to it from here

The part deformation is graphical only. You can't save the file in a deformed state.

Thanks Dan,

So it is not possible to deforme a part, applying forces?
I'm looking for construct a component that its final shape is achived by a oriented force.

Thanks.

OK. I did a little digging, and it looks like you actually might be able to do it.

You should check out forum1183. In fact there is already a question over there about a creased part that might answer your question.
