Hello
I made a mechanically welded structure and bolted it, and I would like to apply a force on this structure, but when I do a simulation, SW tells me that the medele, which indicates that a part is not fixed. How to find this or these parts.
Thank you for your help
Re
Excuse me, there are not as many physical bolts for me....

Hello Coyote,
thank you for the info
I will try
Re
What do U-shaped sheets do with bolts? They are in the "void"?
Why not exclude them too and therefore make a simple calculation see attached file.

@Coyotte
You will be able to guide me in this simulation, so that I understand the mechanics of the simulation under SW
Thank you in advance
Thank you
U-shaped sheets are there to support the tubes
They are welded on the corbels on each side
For the U's on the tubes, they are welded on the large tubes to support the crosspieces
Pkoi don't solder the tubes directly, I don't understand what the extra U's bring you.
In any case, from a calculation point of view, I think there will be little difference if we remove them.

Other remarks by the way, there is no point in creating an offset on your sketches supporting your welded macano bar, it is possible to place the bars directly with play or you just have to use the Adjust/Extend function to do it after the fact.

Thank you for your help
If I don't weld it's because we have to make it dismantled, in order to transport it and be able to assemble it on site, because we don't have much space^ to work at the customer's site
Hello
Speaking of space, you have squeezed some between your U (welded on the corbels) and the plate (wall mounting) for the passage of a bolt or other !!?
Good luck.
Hello drawing6
Yes, it must have enough space for the nut
Hello
Otherwise, to find loose parts, a modal analysis can often be very useful. Unconnected parts generally have fairly weak eigenmodes. By visualizing the deformed, it's quite easy.
