More simulation questions/bugs(?)

[mbostonsprint]

Pursuant to my post yesterday about odd results from trying to get deflection results from gravity load on a glass disk, I am doing some more checking to see if I'm doing something wrong or inconsistent. I have run across what I think may be a bug in software operations.

It seems that trying to delete a static stress study that is run on a model leads to some level of non-response from the software, and then if/when it disappears after repeated deletes, the Workspace tab becomes depopulated, and the only choice you get to see is "New Drawing". I had thought previously that maybe this was related to using the cloud solution process, but I ran these locally today, and saw the same behavior.

I'll note that switching to another model tab and then coming back seems to get the Workspace tab choices back, although you also get the stress study back too.

So, what's the deal with deleting a simulation?

(EDITED: I removed the line with the proposed date the fix will be released.  Although we would like to be transparent, we need to be cautious about promising fixes and when they will make it into the product.)

Your other issue from yesterday still has me stumped on why it is behaving different for the same part, still researching that one.

We are aware of the issue with deleting the Studies.  I tested the fix about a week ago.  The workaround is to add other Studies and then you can delete the one you don't want.  This only seemed to happen when only one Study exists in the model.

If you are getting something different, please let me know the steps so we can look into it more.

Thanks for the quick response. Your comments seem to reinforce what I observed yesterday, in hindsight. My intent with this process is to keep everything very clean so I know what I have done with a model in any given study, hence the deleting/cleaning up desire. Good to hear that a fix is in process.

Related to yesterday's issues, I have tried some additional tests employing a non-wedged disk of glass, and still see way-high values for deflection in glass under gravity load. Also, looks like the rotation of the part is still occurring, but it now appears to side-slip as well, and the results indicate a significantly off-center loading . Let me know if additional models will be of any use right now.

If you can direct me to any specific tutorial data on this simulation feature, that may also help me to make sure of what I'm trying to do.

I posted a response to your other issue.  FEA-Static Stress Simulation results creating stress
