Hi all!
I am trying to make a study of the lifting of one of our machines...
I inquired by looking at this tutorial that I found rather clear but I don't have a premium simulation license... so no " linkage rod "...
Do you have a tip to do this study with only the features of a Premium license (standard simulation)?
Thank you in advance.
Hello;
We need a visual of the component to be handled... to get an idea.
Overall, if your lifting rings are oriented towards the center of gravity, you will have to create a tangential edge oriented perpendicular to the theoretical position of your slings and apply the forces to them (without forgetting the total mass of your assembly (gravity))...

Kind regards.
Hello
Indeed we don't have the linkage rod but you can use a tension spring (just calculate the stiffness of the cable that would be used with the d'young module and the section).
You must also be able to make a mixed mesh and put beam elements (section of the cable): less manual calculations to do.
Hello @twathle ,
A suitable model is the essential condition for a simulation that approximates the behavior of the real system. On this point, the model of the " Zee Training Institute " video seems to me to call for some comments... See attached pdf document.
To answer your question about linkage rods , adding ball-shaped members at both ends to the SolidWorks model seems to me to be a realistic solution for simulating cables. This is in line with the proposal of @froussel ...
The questions of defining their stiffness, and the suppression of their internal mobility in rotation, remain to be settled...
