Assign Material Properties and Boundary Conditions

Set up physical conditions for simulation

1. In the Properties Panel, click the Simulation tab > Parts, and assign the values for Workspace and Material to each of the meshes, as shown below.
   
2. Collapse the Parts tree, then right-click Load Case 1 > New to create a Boundary Condition, BC1. Repeat this action to create BC2.
3. Expand BC1 on the tree, and set Boundary Condition Type to Restraint.
4. Position the model so you can see the inner surface of the two vertical bolt holes, then press Ctrl+Left Mouse Button and draw a rectangle inside each of these bolt holes to select a group of points.
5. In the Toolbar, Selection panel, set the Tolerance value to 25, and click Flood Fill.

   All the points on the inner surface of each bolt hole should be selected.

6. Expand BC2 on the tree, and set Boundary Condition Type to Force. Also set the Z value to 2e3.
7. Position the model so you can see the inner surface of the horizontal bolt hole, then press Ctrl+Left Mouse Button and draw a rectangle inside the bolt hole to select a group of points.
8. In the Toolbar, Selection panel, click Flood Fill to apply the force to all points inside the bolt hole.
   
9. Click File menu > Save Project.
