Exclude a component from a simulation

Simulation Generality
1

Hello

I would simply like to know for a colleague, how to exclude a component from a simulation but that it is still apparent in the result?

Thank you and see you soon!

It's a tricky question there

you want to exclude a component

but it has to be there in the result of the result of your simulated??????????

I don't understand the whole ??????????????

You can exclude a component from the analysis but in this case it is not taken into account for the simulation, and therefore it does not appear!

Hello

I arrive 2 years later but anyone knows if by excluding a part from a simulation, its weight is kept in the simulation?

Thank you:p

Hello Dorian

Ben! No, because it is excluded!

On the other hand, you can get around the difficulty by putting a sledgehammer at a distance. (mass that is virtual)

The location of the remote mass must be located by you at the center of gravity of a part that does not exist.

Bodies treated as mass at a distance are excluded from the mesh, but their mass properties and moments of inertia are taken into account in the analyses.

Remote weights are very practical, especially for remote loads on beams or welded frames. Be careful however to take the CG of the ground from a distance

Kind regards
