no easy answer, but you are right. These models lead to high forces and
moments
and many of the results are not realistic. Have you a rigid trunnion. Did
you anchor the base.
How are the pumps modelled. I would question any answer without knowing
these key things
I'm a bit curious why post here and not send to Coade tech support. You pay
your fees to get tech support.
Its very costly but you are paying for the advice so why not use it?..
rather than guesses fom free answers.
You can send them your model. theres a lot of issues around the way you have
modelled it.
