Material Values out of limits. Simulation can not be performed. Using Teak

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have built a bench out of teak and I want to run a stress simulation on it to understand if it will be strong enough to support a person seating on it.

For what I read, Fusion can only simulate isotropic materials, and for what I understand, teak complies with such condition. 

But when I setup the simulation I get the "Material values out of limits" warning. Am I doing something wrong? 

here is the link to my simple bench design https://a360.co/30FHAM7

Any way in which I can run the simulation with teak or a material with similar properties?

thanks in advance

Hi !
Same problem here, with Pine material for me. How did you solve it ?

Wood is an orthotropic material, not an isotropic material:

• isotropic means same properties in all directions. Orthotropic means it has different material properties in 3 perpendicular directions.
• wood is stiffer (and stronger) parallel to the grain and weaker in perpendicular directions.

Since Fusion simulation only supports isotropic materials, you have to decide if that approximation is acceptable. Then you can decide which properties best apply to your situation (along the grain, perpendicular to the grain, something in between) and enter the appropriate material properties as isotropic.
