Hi,

I am modelling a set of landing gear for a university dissertation. It has a couple actuators on it and I am baffled in trying to figure out the forces that each actuator needs to pull the assembly. Is there a way of either using a pen/paper or solidworks itself to find out what these forces are. Just to give you an idea of one of the actuators, the picture attached is of a stripped down version of my landing gear showing a very basic version of the model i need to make calculations on.
