Before analyzing any model, you can configure Simulation Mechanical 360 to alert you by email when the simulation has finished. To do this, follow this procedure:
Click OK to accept the changes and close the Options dialog box.
Linear Static Stress: Hydraulic Cylinder Pin Joint
Non-linear Mechanical Event Simulation: Snap-Fit Clip Assembly
