Hello
In simulation, if I want to have a plot of shear forces and bending moments to cross with a calculation by hand, how can we extract these diagrams.
In welded construction I have the beams, I keep my beams and it will work, or is there a shortcut to get them from the model converted into volume?
Thank you for clarifying this point, have a good day;
Spectrum.
Hello @spectrum ,
Obtaining diagrams of the cohesion forces in a section only makes sense and is of interest for a structure made up of beams. For a " hand" calculation, in the case of constant cross-sections, they make it possible to predict in which sections the stresses will be the strongest, in tension, bending or torsion.
With SolidWorks, only the simulation in " beam " mode offers these components in the panoply of results, since the mesh is based on the straight sections. As for exploiting them, the question is there...
On the other hand, no diagram of this type for a " volume " simulation that does not know straight sections.
Dealing with the two types of simulations on a structure such as the easel illustrating your message allows you to compare the results to get an idea of the relevance of each of these simulations. Informative...
Kind regards.
Hello m.blt,
Thank you for your answer, it gives me the complement to my question and additional work to consider, I didn't know about the lack of straight sections.
I will work by cross-referencing the information obtained by the simulation.
