Running the simulation
- [Narrator] At this point in time, in our design, we are ready to run simulation and get the results. Now I've removed any type of highly detailed features and added some split line features over here and over here so I'm applying loads at their correct locations or I can modify to get to that point. And I've selected a high tech engineering material of pure gold, of course everybody needs a pure gold bracket and we're going to see if pure gold's strong enough to hold a thousand pounds. So here we go, let's run this thing. Analysis preparation, we've already done that. Over here to evaluate SimulationXpress, let's go ahead and just verify everything we have. Now notice there's a couple problems over here we've got to fix and a lot of times, when you get into these models, you're going to have to fix it up before you actually run the simulations. Go ahead and click on Next. Notice we've got our fixtures and we are fixture-ing the inside of the hole and the back surface here. And…
