Hi group members,

I have to  do a structural simulation for a bar component.

My boundary conditions are

• fixed support at left end
• Force of 10N is acting at the other end of the bar.

My question is do I have to give the weight of the bar in Newton as other boundary condition or no need?

 

Kind regards

Chandra

Hello Chandra,

If you need to consider the effect of weight, you can use standard earth gravity option available in mechanical:
