Re: pic: Broken Output Shaft

You have a large aspect ratio in this problem - long shaft and short, small keyway.
Make certain you Add-in SolidWorks Simulation under the Tools menu. SimulationXpress will only give you a simple approximation. You need full SolidWorks Simulation.

You will need to adjust the mesh to be finer around the keyway.
