Force calculation from skeleton sketch in creo 4.0

Dear all,

 

I am going to calculate the bucket available force as showing image (Bucket cylinder force we know 700kN) without creating all linkage parts because it consume lot of time to create the parts. It means it is possible to calculate force thought skeleton sketch? 

 

Following Force need to calculate 

Max available Bucket force

Max available Link -1 force 

Max available Link -2 force

 

From Lift side image -1 : Skeleton sketch image

Seems like a static force/moment analysis. Draw out a free body diagram and solve for all the unknown forces given the ones you know, angles, and such, just like you do in a statics class. Once you have all the forces of interest figured out, you should be able use relations to calculate them based upon the configuration of the skeleton. If you can do it with a paper and pencil, expressing everything in terms of variables, you should be able to do it in relations. Then you can modify the configuration and see what happens, iterate on the "best" solution, etc.

How to do the Static force/ Moment Analysis in Creo?

 

Is it possible to give procedure for static force/ moment calculation in creo ?

 

I am doing lot of linkage design but for this force calculation I am searching some other new software. If We can able to do the force calculation in creo i will proceed with creo. I will reduce lot of design iteration time.
