This document provides instructions for defining and solving a static stress simulation. It instructs the user to define structural loads and constraints by pinning the lower bore and applying a 500 lb force to the inside diameter of the upper holes. It then tells the user to generate automatic contact sets, use pre-check to validate the study setup, and solve the simulation study, which will also save the design. The simulation can be solved locally or using cloud credits.

Practice: Define and solve a Static Stress Simulation.
• Define structural loads and constraints.
• Generate automatic contacts. • Use Pre-check. • Solve a simulation study.
1. Continue with the file from Practice 1 and
ensure you are in the simulation workspace.
2. Select Constraints > Structural Constraints.
3. Set the constraint type to “Pin” and lock down
Radial, Axial and Tangential directions. Select the lower bore and OK the structural constraints.
Lesson: Practice 2 Page | 1
4. Create a force structural load on the inside diameter of the 2 upper holes. Activate the “Force Per Entity” option and set the magnitude 500 lbforce.
5. Generate the automatic contact sets in the
model.
6. Use Pre-check to ensure the study has all
required information.
7. Solve the simulation study.
NOTE: Solving the simulation study will also save the
design. Static Stress can be solved locally or with cloud credits.
