Material: 4130 Alloy Steel annealed at 865C
Yield Strength: 4.600e+08
Fixtures:
On flat faces to restrict planar movement.
Interactions:
These are all virtual walls where the part comes into connect with other parts.
Loading:
The typical amount of force is 900N (600N from the driver but amplified by 1.5MA), but it is saftey factored to have a 1800N load.
Mesh:
Mesh Controlled, on the weld and the width of the sheet metal:
Results:
Extra Steps: Could probably cut a few chunks off the sheet metal for weight saving.
