Hello!
I had a question about how to run a certain simulation. For my part, I have an aluminum 6061-T6 stiffened plate assembly. I want to simulate it such that on one end it is fixed and on the other hand a total compressive force of a maximum of 2000 lbf is applied to it. However, I do not know how to simulate the load in steps to simulate a compression test in a real-life machine. I want to start the load from 0lbf to 2000lbf in steps of 100lbf. How do I do that and set it up in SolidWorks 2024? Also, how do I get the load vs strain graph at the end after running the simulation?
