Balancing the model in Mechanica

[ptc-758976]

Hi all, How do we check whether model is completely balanced or not in Mechanica??

I don't think you need Mechanica for this. If you use: Analysis>Model>Mass Properties You can chech whether the centre of gravity is on the model axis.

Hi Andy, Thanks for your reply. Balanced model means, I am thinking with respect to the loading & constraints. I am trying to find out whether all the conditions and loads applied are good enough to give proper results, and the model is in equilibrium comdition. Please let me know if any method is existing.

In Mechanica, you can use: Info>Review Total Load to check whether your loads balance.

hI, Thanks for your reply. I checked with total review load option and found that Fz component is real high. Other wise Fx, Fy were considerably small, near to 0. So in this case how should I balance my model? Kindly let me know. Thanks! Shekar[/img]

Put a new Fz load in opposite to the review load result............
