Assumptions
Workshop 3.1 consists of a 2 part assembly representing spur and rack gear
components from a 2500 N hand press.
We will solve it as a 2D plane stress model (thickness = 12 mm).

Force = 2500 N
2. RMB the Geometry cell and request 2
“Properties”.
Note this setting indicates the model to be
analyzed is not a full 3D model but represents 3.
a symmetry section. It is important that this
is set prior to importing geometry as this
setting cannot be changed after the import.
5. Double click the “Model” cell to start 5.
Mechanical.
7. Set the Plane Stress options:
a. Highlight the “Geometry” branch. a.
b. Verify the “2D Behavior” to be “Plane Stress”
(default).

9. Set the contact options:
a. Highlight the contact branch branch.
b. Change the contact type to “No Separation”.

Notice that the default location for the remote point is on the
circle rather than centered within it. We’ll next change the
remote point location.
You should notice the X coordinate field update to
reflect the new location.
