How to calculate forces on Solidworks
Hi all!
For a project I have to calculate the force "F" necessary to rotate a part (big gray cylinder)...
The force "F" must generate a torque of 14Nm at the top of the mechanism (it is therefore necessary to counter a resistant torque "Cr" of 14Nm on the upper red ring)
Does anyone know how to calculate the force "F" I need on Solidworks?
The red bottom ring is fixed and the top bottom ring is attached to the cylinder.
Thanks for your help!
Bonjour à tous!
Pour un projet je dois calculer la force "F" nécessaire pour faire tourner une pièce (gros cylindre gris)...
La force "F" doit générer un couple de 14Nm au sommet du mécanisme (il faut donc contrer un couple résistant "Cr" de 14Nm)
Est-ce que quelqu’un sait comment calculer la force "F" dont j’ai besoin sur Solidworks?
La bague du bas rouge est fixe, et la bague supérieure (rouge) est attachée au cylindre gris.
Merci pour votre aide!

Hi @fanny oddon!
It's quite simple actually. You should do a simulation in MOTION (which solves rigid body kinematics and dynamics equations) to get it directly.
If you haven't used it, you'll have to do some tutorials before trying it (SolidWorks Help Menu Tutorials).
Best regards!
PS: if you want to share the model, I can help you set up the study (my limitation is that I have SolidWorks 2017 and I won't be able to open files from versions newer than that).
PS2: This, behind its complex appearance as a 3D movement, is nothing more than a generalization of the 2D scheme that I show in the figures and that is activated with a lever whose length affects the value of the force that you need to do...

I've got these equations in 2D...I still need a relation between teta_A and teta_B to resolve my equation (I did it on the Solid S3)
