Can I take account of components that have initial interference within stress analysis?
Yes. Within the stress-analysis environment, right-click the automatic bonded contacts for the components in question and select edit contacts. Select Shrink Fit/No sliding (or Shrink Fit/Sliding) from the contacts list. This will create pre-stressing in the component as a result of initial interference within components. Beware: In reality components will have frictional properties at contacts which are not taken into account. Q: Can I make use of reaction loads, available from dynamic simulation, in the stress analysis environment? A: Yes. Select the time at which you want the reaction load to be transferred. Then select the component that needs to be analyzed and then select the faces where load is going to applied. Now create a new stress analysis and select motion load analysis option. The loads will be automatically applied to the component. Q: Can I apply a load on a specific area and shape of a face? A: Yes, you can apply a load, or constraint, on a specific area of a component
