Hey so I’ve got everything set up with my project and ran some simulations. The whole thing is basically a wheel on a shaft, spinning inside a box with supports. I assign my forces to my shaft since that’s where the weight will be but when I run my simulations, it only shows stress on the shaft. It doesn’t seem to translate the force through the entire model so I can actually test structural integrity.

Any advice?

I think I was able to share it with you! I couldn’t find anywhere that would give me a link.

No worries, it can be directly the URL of the project, you can copy that and paste here.
