Hello SW community,
I'm trying to learn the FEA simulation with solidworks. I have a corkscrew which is affected by a total force of 50 N upwards. I have to replace the the cork and the handle of the corcscrew with equivalent fixtures, that produce the same maximi von mises stress of approximately 300 MPa.
But after spending a couple of hours with different fixturess, i've almost given up.
I can't get anny stress closer than 251 MPa:
The mesh size is 1mm.
I've also uploaded the part with my own attempt to solve the problem, if that makes it easier to understand.
