problem simulation with solidworks

[Lucasso]

Hello guys I have a problem!! I should simulate the movement of a plastic lid inside a aluminium cylinder considering that the same cylinder inside has contact wings for the lid!
I would need to know the strength that it takes to apply to the lid so that it can deform and then pass the contact fins.

I have been trying for days with the various tests with solidworks simulation but it does not give me deformation then I tried with solidworks motion and nothing to do. .

Who can help me?

Thank you in advance!

then motion from what I know does not show deformations, but you can do a test by putting the fixed cylinder, the axis cover with the cylinder, put the materials, put the contact between the two, then put the force on the cover that pushes towards the cylinder, in this way for example with 1n maybe does not pass (and you see it steady against the fins), if you put 5 see the lid go beyond the fins, once you do this test, activate the simulation and put on the power. I don't know if there are better solutions but I would do so by doing in each section a part to have a useful final account. If you need the presentation of the lid that passes, you can always create a deformed part based on simulation result, start the video with the normal one, arrived at the wings hide it, activate the deformed one so that steps, then put back the normal one. if done well can make as if there was really deformation.

hi ivan thanks for your answer, I tried all of it does not seem to work according to me solidworks has some limit in this aspect.. Can you tell me if you know any software that allows you to do these tests?

Thank you.

I have no idea, I have tried to simulate something like this and I have seen that if you put the contact and put a low force stops on the wings, if you put a sufficently high force you see that it passes, but without deformation, if you need the deformation, put the lid in contact with the fins and put the force put in motion, this is only solution that you can get according to me.

hi lucasso, first of all since there is no image I don't know if I understood well what you want to do.
However, for the type of result you intend to pursue you need to set an analysis of type "non-linear static"

These videos will make you clear better what I mean:

That's a video burn.

placed almost at the same time. .

swarzy, were you on break, too? Heh!

eheh, actually just returned from the coffee break! :wink:


Let us know.

Have a good day.
