Restarted, and remade OSS, then got these errors:
...
Static Structural
Haven’t got to this part due to issues with ACP-Pre, however, below are ideas of what I will be doing:
Set load solid with a 5g acceleration into the door panel
Fix faces of hinge and latch which are in contact with the chassis
Back face of simplified hinge
Cross section face of striker rod which is connected to chassis beam
NOTE: double check if deformations make sense, as well as stresses
Currently everything just has contact regions with each other, probably need to change
Goal is to see if Tsai-Wu failure criteria is met
April 15 Update
After meeting with Tommy, scrap simplified hinge and use normal hinge
Need to update CAD assembly to reflect this
Note: Ansys doesn’t like configurations of the same part
Solution: save configs as separate parts for now
Ansys also can’t find files in other directories - for now just find files when pop up window appears
Model
Make all materials structural steel
For door panel, make structural steel 2 for now, will overwrite later
Change contact auto creation tolerance from 3mm to smaller (e.g. 0.5mm)
...
Can update mesh size later (currently 3mm)
ACP Pre
Changed stackup from 0, 30 60 to 0, 45, 90

Results:

Deflection is moving in right direction
Simulation values cannot be verified, are ridiculously high (not a very good sign)
Definitively need to revisit
Want to see stress distribution on actual door panel
Simplify geometry first?
