hello

i am currently analyzing the monitor arm in ansys workbench.

but, i confuse how to set the 'contact','load factors', and so on..

i want to analysis the model as follows.

in number 1,3 which I pointed in red, arm's deformation.

and in number 2, i want to check the deformation, stress, and so on.

so, can i ask about how to set of load factor and contacts factor?

i am trying it on transient structural in many times....

What do you want to know about this arm?

What is the mass of the monitor it is supporting?

[jhryu1208]

i want to know the bending stress and safetyfactor in number 1,2,3,4.

the mass of the monitor is almost 20kg which i supposed.

This analysis should be done in Static Structural. Why do you think it should be a Transient Structural analysis?

On part 4, there is a screw clamp. A sufficiently large torque on that screw will take part 4 past yield. You must specify the maximum axial force that the screw develops. This analysis can be done using only part 4 and the screw, without including parts 1-3.

thank you for your answer i ll try it!!
