Analysis with purpose

Hi,

I have a fixed - free bar with tichness 40 [mm]. 

the deflection is 0,2 [mm] with F = 4.000,00 [N]

 

In Simulate I can investigate the value of thickness in order to not superate 0,1 [mm] of deflection?

Maybe I need a sensitivity analysis, correct?

 

Thank you

yes that will work or you can do an optimization something like this.

Hi, 

when I try to define the variable, I have this message

This is a CAD problem, not a simulate problem.  It means the dimension is dependent on something so it cannot be modified.  Can you change the thickness manually to different thicknesses?  Are you using a relation (equation) to drive the thickness?
