simulation tipping

[braunfish]

I have a steel table with the top protruding from the legs.
with the simulation module I calculated the maximum deformation in case someone sits on the edge of the plane, binding as fixed the legs support plans on the ground.
How do I check the risk of tipping?

 

[Jeffcott]

hello braunfish, what program did you use to calculate the maximum deformation?

 

[braunfish]

the stress module of inventor 2011

then I must reuse as soon as I first inventor! cmq I as you are interested in the verification of the tipping. we hope a rapid delucidation!

draws the table top, lean with the constraints on the table above but then eliminates the constraints themselves, in the dynamic simulation module insert a 3d joint between the table and the top, add the force to the end and launch the simulation.

Why do you have to eliminate the constraints?

 

[diegus]

because if the table does not have the necessary degrees of freedom it will not move under the action of force. in dinamic simulation you must always leave the necessary degrees of freedom otherwise the pieces end in the fixed folder.

excuse diegus would you suggest me a good guide to an approach to inventor?
In particular, I would be interested in studying deformations. Thank you!
