Trying to do a COSMOSWorks analysis of this 3-piece assembly.Actual assembly is connected with pins at both ends to uprightcomponents - I'm using Fixed restraints on the larger thru holes atboth ends. Would Immovable restraints be more appropriate?
Second image shows how I am applying Pin Connectors and Force.
Do I need to put Pin connectors on both ends of each of 4 thruholes, or is one side adequate for each?
Whole assembly needs to support a certain amount of weight. Is itOK to apply force just to middle component as shown or should Ialso select top faces of the 2 main parts?
Let's say I want to test assy @ 100 lbs - if I choose all 3components COSMOS input box says I'm applying 100 lbs "Per Entity"- does this make force 300 lbs?
I'll probably have more questions, but let's start here.Thanks.SolidworksSimulation
