Hi Matt, thanks for your reply. I've done that and the results are more or less consistent with your interpretation of St. Ventant's principle. This is very handy for FEA reports, but in order to use a rule of thumb like that (10% of wall thickness) I would need more formal source. Do you have a formal text book or paper that documents how to apply St. Venant's principle to FEA?
+Alejandro Jaramillo That is what my professor taught us when I took my Computer Aided design and manufacturing class. I'm sorry I don't have a more formal source
Hi Matt, you mentioned people could write with questions, but I can't find your email address, please post or advice where to find it. Tks!. My questions is if you have compared the results of such a bearing load calculation with a hand calculation?
+Alejandro Jaramillo I haven't done an analytical bearing load calculation by hand in years so I couldn't comment. If you are truly interested in the comparison, I would recommend doing a hand calculation on a certain setup and repeat in SolidWorks FEA. Try changing some parameters like mesh size and see how it reacts. Hope this helps.
Great video! Thanks, it helped me a lot!
Helped me out, thank you!
very useful tanks alot
thanks for your help
Thank you. wow, it freezes alot :))
