Solution: Achieving best strength

(bright upbeat music) - [Instructor] Let's start by setting up this simulation study. And of course we want the static study, so we're going to press okay. So we wanted to go ahead and set up the fixture, fixed geometry on this backside to stop that phase from moving. And then we want to go into the external loads, click on force, make sure we have pound force selected and we're going to select on that top face, and you want to make sure to write 20 for the force and then press okay. So we have our fixture, we have our force. Next we want to select our mesh, right click and go to create mesh. Open up our mesh parameters, click on curvature based, and then change this to a four millimeter mesh size and then press okay. Now our simulation is ready to be run. So I can right click and I'm going to select on run. So now we have our simulation study results and we can see for the current state that our maximum is around…
