Trang 1ME-430 INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER AIDED DESIGNSTRESS ANALYSIS Using Pro/MECHANICA
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0
Dr Herli Surjanhata The bicycle wrench shown in the figure below is made of stainless steel The wrench
is 5 mm thick A total load of 264 Newtons is uniformly distributed over the top surface located on the horizontal plane in the right of the wrench The inside surfaces
of the left hexagon are fixed to simulate the bolt tightening
Determine the von Mises stresses, and maximum deflection under the given
distributed load and boundary conditions
Check the convergence of your analysis
Trang 2Step 2:
Transfer the model to Integrated Mode of Pro/MECHANICA
Three algorithms that can be chosen:
1 Quick Check (No convergence):
Pro/MECHANICA performs a single pass analysis with uniform p = 3 This method is used to verify if your analysis has been set up
correctly
2 Single-Pass Adaptive:
Pro/MECHANICA runs a first pass at p = 3 and determines a local estimate of stress error Using this error estimate, Pro/MECHANICA determines a new p-order distribution and performs a final pass
3 Multi-Pass Adaptive:
When you run a design study, the Structure engine performs calculations and increases the polynomial order (p-order) for each element edge until the convergence criteria is satisfied An analysis converges when the difference in the results of the results of the current and previous passes are within the percentage you specify under Convergence
From Applications pull-down menu, select
Mechanica
The Unit Info window appears
Trang 3Click Continue button if the system
of units is correct and consistent
From Model Type dialog box, select
Structure
Click OK
In MEC STRUCT menu, you will use,
• Model menu to assign material properties of bike wrench, and also to define
loads and constraints
• Analyses/Studies menu to define the type of analysis – in this case static
analysis, and Convergence Method Then run a design study
• Results menu to review design study results
Step 3:
Define the material of bike wrench
From Properties pull down menu, select
Materials
Or click on Define Materials icon
on the right toolbar
Trang 4From the
Materials in Library list,
select SS
Click the Assign button, then Part - Pick the
Trang 5From Insert pull-down menu, select
Displacement Constraint, or click on
located on the right toolbar,
and the Constraint window appears
Enter the name of the constraint
as “fixed” Click the arrow button under the
Surfaces Pick all surfaces of hexagon on the left – see Figure below Make sure
to press and hold Ctrl key while selecting the next surfaces
OK, then click OK button in the Constraint window
Done/Return
Trang 6Note that FIXED constraint should be applied on these surfaces
Step 5:
Apply the load on the flat-top surface of the right part of the wrench – see Figure below
From Insert pull-down menu, select
Force/Moment Load, or click on
located on the right toolbar,
and the Force/Moment window appears
Trang 7Enter the name of the load as
OK, then click OK button in the Constraint window
Done/Return.
Trang 8Step 6:
Define the STATIC analysis by:
From Analysis pull-down menu, select Mechanica
Analyses/Studies, or click on
icon on the top toolbar
Analyses and Design Studies
dialog box opens
From File pull down menu, select
New Static
Trang 9Enter the name of analysis
as “bike_wrench” Select Multi-Pass Adaptive method
Maximum Polynomial Order = 9
Percent Convergence = 5
Convergence on Local
Displacement, Local Strain Energy and Global RMS Stress
Click the OK button
Step 7:
Trang 10Run the design study by
selecting
Click the Yes button
Click the Display study status button to review the progress of the analysis
Make sure you have “Run
Completed” message
Click Close in the Run Status dialog box
Step 8:
Review design study results
Click on to review the results of design study The Result Window
Definition dialog box
opens

Trang 15We are also interested in the Max Von Mises Stress, Max Displacement Magnitude and Strain Energy convergence
Click the Copy button - in the Result Window, and name it as convm
Set the following:

Trang 16Click OK button
Click OK
Trang 17Repeat the same procedure to create another window called conse and set the following – choose strain_energy as measure quantity:
Trang 18Click icon
In the Display Result Window, make sure to highlight convm, condef, and conse ONLY, and click the OK button
Trang 19Notice that the max_stress_vm does NOT converge This is due to the sharp corners in the wrench – see the Von Mises Stress fringe plot
Save the results windows as bike_wrench
Click
Enter the file name
bike_wrench.rwd
Click OK
Trang 20Close the Analyses and design Studies
To eliminate this problem, transfer the model back to
Pro/ENGINEER, create the fillets or rounds at the location of sharp corner, and run the analysis again until the max von
Mises stress converges
The following results show the convergence
