First define "survive". Do you mean the rotor doesn't fall out of the car, or that it will still do whatever it is supposed to do after the crash?Also how do i know if the bearings would survive the impact?
To import your model into the structural analysis environment in Catia, you can use the "Insert" function and select "Existing Part" to import your model. Alternatively, you can use the "Analysis" workbench and select "Import Model" to import your model directly into the structural analysis environment.
In linear analysis, the material behavior is assumed to follow Hooke's law, where stress is proportional to strain. Non-linear analysis takes into account material properties beyond the linear range, such as plastic deformation or large displacements. Non-linear analysis is more accurate but also more computationally intensive.
You can define boundary conditions and loads by selecting the "Constraint" and "Force" icons in the "Analysis" workbench. You can then choose the type of boundary condition or load and specify the values and locations accordingly.
There are various types of elements available in Catia Structural analysis, including 1D beam elements, 2D shell elements, and 3D solid elements. Each type of element has its own specific use and characteristics, and it is important to choose the appropriate element type for your simulation.
Yes, you can run multiple simulations in Catia Structural analysis by creating different scenarios within the "Analysis" workbench. This allows you to compare different boundary conditions, loads, and material properties to analyze their effects on the model's behavior.
