Help a noob with stress analysis! (Model is ready and file is attached)

Hi guys, I'm starting to learn Inventor and it's pretty awesome.

 

I'm drawing a DIY press, which uses a hydraulic car jack. I've finished the model, so now I want to test it. However, I'm having a hard time with Stress Analysis. I've seen some tutorials but I can't correctly apply them to my model.

 

I would love if someone picked my files and correctly configure and run the Stress Analysis environment, so I can learn in practice how it should be done. The files are avaible here (couldn't upload here because of size restrictions).

 

Here's some additional info about the model:

The hydraulic jack is a "2 tons" one (20000 N).

The hydraulic jack is not active (it doesn't works, it just stays fixed there for the the analysis).

I've already correctly set all assembly constrains.

The model is pretty straightforward, just move some parts and you'll understand it.

 

Thanks!!!

Find the red End of Part marker in the browser.
(End of Folded on sheet metal parts EOF)
Drag the red EOP to the top of the browser hiding all features.

Save the file with the EOP in a rolled up state.

Right click on the file name and select Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder.

Attach the resulting *.zip file here.

Hi

1- the wood plate is not a isotropic material, Inventor can only analyse this kind of material structure (isotopic)

2- the plate orientation will be major parameter (in the real world)

3- you must use sub-assembly in your design

4-your jack contact must be like the real world (dimension, see model)

5-some part interfer with the sliding base

6- use FEA contact 'sliding/no separation' to simulate the both slides

7- your assmbly constraint was not set correctly

8- your FEA constraint was not set correctly too

I think you should begin with simple model to catch all the FEA feature after that switch with assembly.
