Transcript

00:01

This is a practice exercise video solution.

00:07

For this practice we'll get started with the supplied dataset conveyor drive.F3D.

00:13

First we're going to go to Inspect and turn on component color cycling so we can get a better idea of the components that are in this design.

00:20

We need to focus our attention on the motor bracket so we'll begin by going to this simulation workspace,

00:26

starting a new static stress simulation study and by entering Simplify so we can remove unneeded components.

00:36

Inside of Simplify, we're going to expand the model components.

00:40

We want to focus on the motor bracket as well as the motor itself.

00:44

So holding down the control or command key will select those two, right click and remove all except selected.

00:51

Using the Home button we're going to bring all the components back to a fit to screen view.

00:57

We're going to be looking at the bracket itself, but we're keeping the motor as we're going to replace it with a point mass.

01:04

From here, we can finish Simplify and make sure that we do save the design before moving on.
