Re: Assembly2 assembly meshing of boolion unioned parts min size .1 in or .05" in never seems to finish windows shows no

So if the frame can scale and I can test the electronics with a lighter frame many it could be made of pvc tube and answer some questions and be moved to the carbon fiber tube frame then. I found some PVC tube properties here. http://www.matweb.com/search/datasheet_print.aspx?matguid=bb6e739c553d4a3...

Oh so the part of the model that looks like a wireframe mesh is the part past the set limit. This is very helpful to see when the model is past it's normal limits.

600 ksi to ~4k Mpa shown in this online calculator. Then I looked at some of the different analysis results mesh radio button options for stress and the max seems well below 4k Mpa so it should not break under loading? 600ksitompadragonplatecf.png vonmasstressmpa.png maxprincipalstress.png maxsheer6...

Re: Assembly2 assembly meshing of boolion unioned parts min size .1 in or .05" in never seems to finish windows shows no

I see in the wikipedia article

"This stress is called the tensile stress because every part of the object is subjected to tension. The SI unit of stress is the newton per square meter, which is called the pascal.
1 pascal = 1 Pa = 1 N/m2"

So I should be looking for pascal or N/m^2?

600 ksi is that a unit it is in tensle strength. They have data sheets at dragon plate.
Will it compare with my analysis?

Wow impressive analysis. I got the 98 in tube with carbon fiber material under 100 newtons abs deflection. Does when it turns red show it will break? Or when will it show signs and wear? 98flexunder100N.png If red means it will break the next shorter tube may need to be used because when a kite is s...

I got your calculation Harryvl into a spreadsheet the deflections mm come out very close probably spreadsheet rounding errors. Is there a point where the deflection shows it will proabably start to show signs of breaking or a point to avoid? tubecalc.png I got the updated specifications from dragonp...
