Is it possible to check an object for overturn (overturning momentum) in Solidworks?
I used to do an analysis for for overturning effect by hand until now, for objects in 2d plane (extruded in third dimension). This is an example of bench:
("A" point represents the reference point for overturning)
Overturn condition:
F1 * a ≤ 1.5 * F2 *b
But what should I do when the objects are not planar (planar but extruded in third dimension like this bench)?
Here is an example of a 3d irregular shaped object:
It is not possible to check for overturn this kind of irregular shaped object by hand. Because forces no longer lie in the same plane:
Some other combinations:
here is .3ds file of this object:http://www.mediafire.com/?qxx7gqp1ndt9s6x
Can Solidworks help when it comes to this check for overlturn?
Thank you.
