- A Simulation of Casting and corresponding deflection of a rod - This simulation is made for a certain style of casting from pick-up, false-cast and end at shooting. All movements were calculated by a program. Acceleration of Tip Top in Picking up: 4G (G is Gravity Acceleration equivalent) Acceleration of Tip Top in Backward Cast, Forward Cast, Shooting: artificially set to 4G Corresponding to the rod movement and acceleration, deflection was calculated. The purpose of this simulation is to identify how a rod, which I am planning to make, would deflect in such a casting motion. Dynamic rod deflection (left) and corresponding Stress Graph (right) Rod: Paul H. Young's Parabolic #15 with light tip, 8' 3 pieces (converted), WF6 Wt. casting line length=60 feet . |
