Note: Used the same forces as the previous simulation.
Material: 4130 Alloy Steel annealed at 865C
Yield Strength: 4.600e+08
Fillets to simulate welds.
Fixtures:
On flat faces to restrict planar movement.
Interactions:
These are all virtual walls where the part comes into connect with other parts.
Loading (Calculations taken from previous sim):
The typical amount of force is 1831.5N (333N from the driver but amplified by 5.5MA), but it is saftey factored to have a 3666.3N load.
Mesh:
Mesh Controlled, on the weld and the width of the sheet metal:
