When creating something built to last, it is imperative to have the right tool for the job. A four-year-old once told me that while wearing a Fisher-Price Tool Belt and helping his grandpa sand his grandma’s kitchen worktop. It was sage advice then, and it is sage advice now. Having the right tool for the […]
In this month’s tips and tricks video, I walk you through mechanical contact without form assembly mode using COMSOL’s new version 6.3. Our team will use this for any scenario where we have a number of bolted connections or any decohesion problems where there’s not a lot of displacement or rotation. The benefit is that
