SOLIDWORKS Pin Connector
Getting simulation results quickly, while maintaining accuracy, is always a top priority for any analyst. Replacing modeled fasteners with bolt or pin connectors in SOLIDWORKS Simulation is a great way to simplify your model, thus significantly reducing your solution time, without compromising on accuracy. The…
SOLIDWORKS 2019 adds Simulation Pin Connector improvements to Nonlinear Static and Nonlinear Dynamic studies that was introduced in Simulation 2018 for Linear Static, Frequency, Buckling and Linear Dynamic studies. You can apply a single pin connector to up to ten coaxial cylindrical faces in Nonlinear…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2018 pin connector has been enhanced. Now you can define a pin connector through more than two cylindrical surfaces in one definition. An improved user interface allows the definition of a single pin connector applied to multiple cylindrical faces (maximum ten). For instance, in…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2017 has enhanced the SOLIDWORKS Simulation Connector Symbol for Pin and Bolt connections. Pin Connectors will now show symbols if they have the With retaining ring or With key enabled. Bolt Connectors will show a symbol indicating a Torque or Axial preload applied. Pin Connector…
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2016 Bolts and Pins on the Same Part
SOLIDWORKS Simulation 2016 now supports the ability to apply Bolts and Pins that start and end on the same body. Bolt Connector For Bolt connectors, be sure to apply the “Bolt series” option under Advanced Options to the hole faces of other components that are…
A Pin Connector connects a solid or a shell body to another solid or shell body. The selection entities can be cylindrical faces or circular edges from the same body or two different bodies. The Pin connector is represented with a very stiff beam. Each end…
