Newton law is ok :-) But the problem is skiers weight x some g aceleration. i think at least 3-4g during landing.... But for shure it exist some documentation about these nubbers. the question is were. I'd start with Newton's third law; for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus...

Unfortunately I need informations about forces to apply to the ski. how many kg I have to simulate? I never read documentation with "real" number. I've found some interesting graph about deformation vs a fixed force( http://www.skibuilders.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=407&postdays=0&...

I'm new on this forum and I iust started to think about ski building, so I'm not and expert and, if something i wrote is wong or already treated in other posts please advert me. If I want to build ski I can: 1-copy a commercial model 2-use a custom project available on the web 3-project a new one (n...

I also use solidworks and cosmos professional on my work. Today I prepared the model of a ski and started to work on the fea. in the 1st step I've decided to constrain "fixed" the 2 fixing areas of the bindings and apply a force equally distribuited on the edge or on the base. In your opin...
