Tutorial conclusion: Stresses on a SnapFit connector

In this tutorial you

• Created an Event Simulation study to examine the stresses experienced when a movable plastic body is pushed into a stationary one
• Defined the stationary body as a Rigid Body and selected a stronger plastic
• Applied constraints to both the stationary part and the moving part
• Applied loads and contacts, and refined the mesh where the parts contact
• Solved the event simulation analysis to see if the model can withstand the stresses, given the material selection.
