Hello,
I tried to perform an analysis of a problem from the PTC Help Center.
I get the same exact numbers of elements and equations. However, the result is QUITE DIFFERENT.
I checked all variables (units, measures...) and I cannot see my mistake. The image shows you the problem, the attached file is my analysis.
Can you help me to figure it out?
Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello,
I have followed the input data as written and i get the exact same results as stated in the table, respectively 7200 & 2970, so my guess is that somewhere you must have missed the units (Dimension, Material Properties, Loads or Constraint). FYI my model is made with 1 element and both (Simple & Clamped) solved at P=4. Also you have to model the curve in XY-plane, with the Y-axis as the symmetry axis. But based on your deflection i believe this is done alrerady. I can't open your file since i am on Creo 2.
Regards

My mistake. I forgot the Force Per Unit Area Distribution!
