An annular linear bond has 2 translations blocked. The 3 rotations and the third translation are free. I can't find how to do it on solidworks simulation. Could anyone help me? Thank you.
Hello
Can you post a photo with explanation on the third one in translation ???) .
There is something that appeals to me in your description because it makes you think that you want to make a dynamic simulation. However, only the PRO version (trescherware) allows dynamic simulation.
On the other hand, you can simulate in static at different positions, it's possible. It all depends on what you want to simulate.
Tell us a little more!
Post your parts, because I'm in 2018 so I can read all the older versions (except the one of Methuselah before 2010 :-) )
Hello, I'm just looking to redo this case:
So have on the left only a rotation of free and on the right a rotation and a translation of free. But since I've already blocked 2 rotations on the left, I can also have them free on the right so on the right I can put an annular linear link: 3 rotations of free and one translation.
Hello
Your attachment is illegible can you repost it, please
By the way, you don't react to my remarks which may not be founded but still to be taken into account it seems to me.
New Essay:
I'm trying to make a calculation in statics, and I'd like to leave the possibility of rotation to the supports when the beam flexes and a translation at one end because when the beam flexes one of the ends moves.
As I have a complex beam shape, it's a bit difficult to do the calculation manually.
Ok I understand it's possible
It's quite simple because there is a type of contact designed for it, same for the rotation. Yes but!!!
I will answer you in detail during the day.
On the other hand between us :-) If your load is also centered (in top view) and there is no risk of spillage and your support is flat at the end of the beam: there is very little chance that the rotation will give you anything if you stay within the reasonable elastic limits.
Give me the profile of your beam (tube, INP, UPN, esoteric, etc....) as well as the length. A drawing will be welcome if your beam is complex.

Thank you for your answer I haven't defined the beam yet but it would be a carbon/honeycomb rectangle of about 700*100. Ext Skin 1.5 mm
The load is evenly distributed.
Hello
You have to indicate what type of carbon fiber you intend to use, because in the 2018 version there are only four types of materials offered and moreover they are only in 2D (@tous understand no 3D braiding).
In addition, you mention a lattice type structure, which implies that for this structure each hexagon is large enough (to be able to mold it simply). In 100 wide it leaves little possibility.
This type of calculation is rather to be done on CATIA in the specialized carbon fiber module.
That said, I'm still skeptical about the usefulness of the annular linkage because I assume that if you have a uniform load, the beam is not likely to spill. On the other hand, placing this beam on two cylinders or portion of a cylinder would allow the simulation to be carried out.
YOU SAY ( possibility of rotation at the supports when the beam flexes and a translation at one end because when the beam flexes one of the ends moves. )
You have to know in real life if it will be installed simply or with a form of quantilever that would be in the shape of an axis to hold it in place at one end. The other end with a portion of concave cylinder on the underside would allow you to have the displacement you evoke when bending.
I bet you that given the shape, your beam will be super rigid and will not have any noticeable bending (not even its own bending if the length is less than 10 meters, especially if you have a skin on all four sides). It would be different if your load was moving on the beam.
That said, most of the time people say evenly distributed load, they don't say anything about the nature of this load. For example, laying a granite cube or laying steel tubes on the beam does not generate the same deformations.
This beam is used for something precise, which means that you have to know all the parameters: including the length, the nature of the load to be able to make a correct choice on the type of supports and embeddedness, even if it is a ball joint on one end of the beam.
I suggest you come back to us as soon as the internal profile of your beam is defined because for the moment it is difficult to suggest something reliable within the limits of what SolidWorks can do.
Kind regards
Hello
I looked at your problem again
And for you to be as close as possible to reality, you only need to make two dividing lines perpendicular to your beam.
These are the two dividing lines that you need to put your connectors on. One will be fixed and the other will be fixed in the Y direction and free in sliding in Z with a limit of a few mm to avoid that you are a big displacement.
The dividing line is the best way to have no local deformation at the support points A and B. This is unlike if you put for example a portion of a cylinder at both ends.
This will give you the behavior of the bending of your beam (which corresponds to your drawing: but it won't tell you anything about the behavior with real support points.
If that's what interests you then you have the solution, but if you want like in real life you will have to define the shape of your supports as well as the embedding at one end.
Kind regards
