Structural constraints in a crane hook

Anonymous

Good morning, we are dealing with the simulation toolbox in Fusion360, in particular for the static stress analysis. Anyway, we have some doubts related to the structural constraints: you can see in the pics attached the constraints that we have assigned. Namely, we have two loads, one applied on the hook (to represent the weight of the object transported) and one applied on the pulley (to represent the force of the crane).  

Can you help us in understanding if these constraints are correct or if it is better to make different decisions? Thank you in advance.

Yes, we have done the analysis both on the bracket and on the pin.

Looks like you made progress.

 

I see a lot of users attempt to do analysis on complete assembly when it might be better to do on individual components.

You could try to set it up for the assemble too (minus the Cotter Pin) and compare the results.

 

I do not have a lot of experience in Fusion 360.  One thing I was looking for that I did not find is a method of analyzing the individual components without the work-around of Remove Bodies.  There should be a technique for directly isolating the analysis by component. If you find it - let me know.
