I would start by making one of the edge fixed and then applying force on the other edge as required. If this is a 1D problem, i would make one of the nodes fixed and applying force to the other node.

Parametric softwares are easy to use, but the most important thing is that you should know the basics of drafting.If you do not have a good base in drafting you and your company will be in a lot of pain.

Do you understand the problem? I would start with geometric modelling. Boundary conditions and intial conditions would follow. I have not used comsol, but I think that is the way to go.

Do the primary , secondary and tertiary datums need to be perpendicular to each other always ( when specified).

Bruca 003, Your question is a bit vague. A picture would be a great help. Please state how far apart are the bolts and the overall size of the engine(for CG). It is not a good idea to calculate the direct shear stress only; bending stress also needs to be calculated ( with the possibility of...

Guys I'm sorry, I made a calculation error during my previous post. I get σ1=208 MPA and σ2=-108MPA;θ1=9.2°. So, there was an error in calculation which was initially posted.

I think it is too late for me to reply to this thread, I could not hold myself. You are right, there is nothing wrong with your solution. The only things remaining are to make that stress diagrams. Rotate the stress element diagram by 9.2 degrees and put the values of principal stresses. You...
