Ruiztaglea Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I have a question about SolidWorks Stress Analysis. How do I incorporate the grain of the wood with the stress simulation. Because the grain of the wood plays a huge role in how much weight a balsa bridge can hold. So I guess my question is; Does SolidWorks allow you to specify the grain of the wood and if so, How do I do it? Quote
shift1313 Posted December 20, 2015 Posted December 20, 2015 I am not at a computer but when you are making a custom material there is a spot for "reference geometry". That defines the grain direction. Simulation of wood is not real accurate because of the inherent differences in pieces so use a large FoS Quote
