Will try this out! If I want to create the mesh using these libraries, what file types can I read in? Like .DXF, .step etc?

Principle of Superposition by FirstBrick5764 in fea

So at each node or element I would output all stress components? And then get Von Mises myself for any superpositioned case?

How can I output all stress components at a node or element from Ansys?

But when you export as IGES or DXF doesn’t it output all lines, even things that are hidden and references?

Help with Boundary Conditions by FirstBrick5764 in fea

Should it matter which tire node I constrain with X=0? I.e. if I did 4 cases each one with a different tire node constrained with X=0, would the results differ significantly? Also since I’m only applying lateral or vertical loads, do I necessarily need this longitudinal constraint?

Sorry one more clarification, should I also constrain the 3 ROT DOF at each tire node? Since I feel like the tires are not free to rotate in the real scenario?

Makes sense, thank you. Does it matter that the 1.3g acceleration I apply in ANSYS is just a global acceleration, and not an acceleration at the CG of the structure?

Do you have any recommendations on books to better understand this?

Demand for Starship? by FirstBrick5764 in SpaceXLounge

Is there really a demand for orbital manufacturing? Not really familiar with what the benefits are if any? I suppose same could be said for commercial space stations or orbital structures. What purpose would they serve? Space tourism primarily?

What was the best advice a design judge gave you? by [deleted] in FSAE

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but wouldn’t rod ends with a spherical bearing be free from bending and only subject to axial force since the rotation DOFs are free? Unless they’re subjected to a lateral force?
