Trying to use simulate lite to analyze a pretty basic system:
12" x 15" x .093" Acrylic sheet, supported by two steel stands .125" thick x 2" tall that run the length of the sheet (in the shorter, 12" dir).
The stands are constrained by the bottom surface, and a downward force is applied to a surface on the sheet that approximates a human foot.
Simulate lite seems to be having some issues dealing with the contact, getting ridiculously high VM stresses.
Is there any way to use simulate lite to analyze this system? (or any system with contact) I don't have access to the full version or any other simulation tools. I have the results of some hand calcs, but my supervisor wants to see the FEA.
