Hello, (I want to clarify, I haven't received any training on simulation or solidworks for that matter)
I would need help on this assembly, I apply vertical force up and down, I lock the 4 long cylinders at the end. I would like the 2 large cylindrical parts not to penetrate each other and adjust the distance between the 2 cylinders. I would like to study the forces when the cylinders move 1mm, 2mm, .. without penetrating each other.
Another question, can we export data with solidworks simulation on excel? I would like to plot the graphs of the constraints, displacement as a function of distance/position or maybe SolidWorks already plots the graphs.
Thank you

Hello
I guess the two cylinders don't touch each other (if they are in contact it doesn't change anything but you won't have the same final result)
1° you have to declare the two big cylinders without penetration (not a global thing)
2° it is also necessary to define the authorized displacement in axial
Then you have to declare an imposed displacement on one of the two cylinders so that it moves as you want (1 to two mm)
As you have set your forces (equipollent vectors ), this puts the two cylinders in compression, which also partly explains their individual deformation.
Solidworks generates a fairly complete report for you in Word.
I've never tried for Excel but I don't think you can have an excel output (to be seen when generating the report maybe)
Kind regards
PS: I should say why these cylinders are moving because I have the impression that there is something wrong with what you want to do. Tell us "what" or "who" makes the big cylinders move and what it is based on (what holds them in the air).
Especially since if I look closely, we are talking about femur and brooch, which strangely reminds me of another post and a technique to lengthen limbs possibly in post-traumatic
