3DEXPERIENCE Example: Structural Analysis of a Bracket

This example guides you through using 3DEXPERIENCE platform to define and run a simulation that evaluates the structural integrity of a bracket. In this example, you learn how to: - Save a SOLIDWORKS geometry or import a 3DEXPERIENCE native geometry to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform - Define a structural simulation - Apply simulation features (for example, boundary conditions and loads) and materials - Run a simulation - Analyze simulation results to qualify a design - Refine a mesh and remesh a part to identify regions with stress singularities - Bookmark and share simulation results with your team This example is available in the documentation so that you can work through it at your own pace: https://help.3ds.com/2025x/english/dsdoc/simxmplusermap/xmpl-m-bracketsrd-sb.htm 0:00 - Introduction 0:56 - Import the Model and Initialize the Simulation 2:25 - Apply a Material to the Bracket 3:01 - Apply Boundary Conditions 3:26 - Apply a Pressure Load 3:49 - Run the Simulation 4:13 - Analyze the Results 4:40 - Assess the Factor of Safety 5:15 - Remesh the Part and Rerun the Simulation 6:02 - Compare the Stress Results 6:38 - Bookmark and Save the Results ================================= Join the SIMULIA Community: Create a profile, explore the platform, collaborate with peers, ask technical questions to Dassault Systèmes experts and uncover new possibilities.
