Physics Setup
Summary of steps in above video:
- Change the material of the sign and application surface to Massless Steel.
- Apply a force to the side of the sign, with 8000 lbf in the Y direction, naming it FY1.
- Apply another force to the top of the sign, with -11700 lbf in the Z direction, naming it WZ1.
- Apply a pressure to the application surface, with a pressure of 34.722 psi, naming it WX2.
- Apply an inertial load in the negative Z-direction.
- Apply a fixed support to the bottom face of the post.
- Solve the physics.
