Stabilizing the Shell Model

As you did for the solid model, you fix a vertex of the shell model to prevent motion in the axial direction.

To stabilize the model:

  1. In the Simulation study tree, right-click Fixtures and select Fixed Geometry.
  2. In the PropertyManager under Standard (Fixed Geometry), select the vertex shown for Faces, Edges, Vertices for Fixture .
  3. Click PM_OK.gif.
