Practice

Practice: Set up and solve a Simulation study.

• Create Structural Constraints.

• Create Structural Loads.
• Solve and review a Simulation study.

1. Upload and open the supplied dataset Air

Cylinder Arm.f3d.

2. In the Simulation workspace, add a Fixed

type Structural Constraint to the flat end
face on the gripper component. Ensure that
it is fixed in all axes.

3. Add a Pin type Structural Constraint to the

upper pivot on the component using the
Radial and Axial restrictions.

 4. Add a 15lbforce load to the small pin
location facing toward the -X direction as
shown

NOTE: You can manually rotate the load or use a

reference direction.

5. Solve the simulation study locally or on the

cloud.

6. Review the simulation results and note that

the file is saved automatically during a
solve.
