Running analysis
- [Instructor] Having defined the material, the loads and the boundary conditions, and also meshed the model, we're now ready to run an analysis. We want to check out each of our loading actions independently. So right mouse click on compressional load, and suppress it. Do the same with tension load, suppress that. That leaves the axial acceleration as the only active load in our particular load case now. At the moment the acceleration is set at 500 G, if I reset that to one G, then we can balance that against the weight. So reactions that come out of this should be equal to the weight of the structure. Let's go in and modify that, edit the definition. And the acceleration due to gravity is 386.4 inches per second squared. Check the box there. And you can see it's nicely reflected in the title here. Now we can run the analysis from different positions. We can use run this study, we can go to simulation, run. Or we can come over to the study and run from there. Command manager option…
