After a brief tour of the user interface and some essential geometry idealization in Part #1<\/A>, we meshed the bracket, constrained it, and configured two distinct load cases for evaluation in Part #2<\/A>. Now comes the real fun – executing the model, and reviewing the results! The following video illustrates the sheer simplicity of solving a model in the NX Advanced Simulation environment. In fact, in many cases you can be well on your way to results in under 5 mouse clicks – easy as pie, one might say. Don’t forget to take advantage of the so-called ‘element iterative solver’ option, for more rapid convergence of models comprised mainly of solid elements. Click on the video to commence playback.
