I am trying to create a simulation of a living hinge joint for a plastic container cap. I want to validate the hinge thicknesses etc through this simulation.
By doing this ill see the action of the hinge in order to explain to further co workers.
You can do the simulation using a nonlinear static analysis because I assume the displacements will be large (the rotation of the hinge larger than a few degrees which is the limitation of static stress). It may be difficult to get enough elements through the hinge area to get accurate results depending on the thickness of the hinge. Thin parts are normally analyzed using shell elements, but Fusion does not have that element type currently.
Let us know what specific questions you have.
