SOLIDWORKS Simulation Tutorial - Fixtures Better Practices

In this video we'll go over understanding the application of 6DOF in simulation studies to avoid adding non real stiffness to your parts. We'll cover common mistakes beginner users tend to make, how and why to avoid them. We'll also go through different ways to constraint independent degrees of freedom to give the user more granular control of mesh node stiffness. Say goodbye to false results.

is the last simulation correct? The stress seems to be concentrated on the fixture point. A better fixture might be at the center of mass of the applied force.

Great explanation, thank you

How can we add ball joint fixture? Meaning allow to rotate in all direction but can't move in all direction.
