Hello Everyone,
I've done a recent simulation in which a number of pins were used. All of them display their resultant shear force incorrectly (under the assumption that resultant shear = (Xshear^2+Yshear^2+Zshear^2)^0.5
If I am right and this is a bug, is there a fix for it? Is it the resultant that is correct, or the components that are correct?
Attached is the exported spreadsheet of my pin forces. The "List Pin/Bold/Bearing Force..." GUI displays the same results.
I highlighted the shear forces in bold. Make note of the resultant shear force vs. the component shear forces.
Cheers,
Tom
