Workshop 4. 1 Linear Structural Analysis

Linear Structural Analysis Workshop 4. 1 - Goals Workshop Supplement – That the impeller

Linear Structural Analysis Workshop 4. 1 - Goals Workshop Supplement – That the impeller will not deflect more than 0. 075 mm with the applied load. – That the use of a plastic pump housing will not exceed the material’s elastic limits around the shaft bore. ANSYS Workbench - Simulation • Workshop 4 consists of a 5 part assembly representing an impeller type pump. Our primary goals are to analyze the assembly with a preload on the belt of 100 N to test: August 26, 2005 Inventory #002266 WS 4. 1 -2

Linear Structural Analysis Workshop 4. 1 - Assumptions Workshop Supplement • Similarly, frictionless surfaces

Linear Structural Analysis Workshop 4. 1 - Assumptions Workshop Supplement • Similarly, frictionless surfaces on the mounting hole counter bores will be used to simulate the mounting bolt contacts. (Note if accurate stresses were desired at the mounting holes, a “compression only” support would be a better choice). • Finally, a bolt load (X = 100 N) is used on the pulley to simulate the load from the drive belt. The bolt load will distribute the force over the face of the pulley only where the belt contact occurs (compression only). ANSYS Workbench - Simulation • We’ll assume the pump housing is rigidly mounted to the rest of the pump assembly. To simulate this, a frictionless support is applied to the mounting face.

Linear Structural Analysis Workshop 4. 1 – Contact Assumptions Workshop Supplement ANSYS Workbench - Simulation • For the workshop we will use the 2 forms of linear contact available in DS, bonded and no separation. It’s important to review and understand all assumptions related to contact behavior when including it in an analysis. August 26, 2005 Inventory #002266 WS 4. 1 -4

Workshop 4. 1 - Environment • Each of the required surfaces could be selected individually while holding the CTRL key however we will use a macro (select by size) provided with the DS installation. After selecting the initial surface, running the macro finds and selects all surfaces of the same size (area). Note, this macro also works with edges or bodies. ANSYS Workbench - Simulation • Now we will add the frictionless supports to the 8 countersink portions of the mounting holes (shown here).

Linear Structural Analysis Workshop 4. 1 – Macro Notes Workshop Supplement • While the selections here (8 surfaces) would be trivial to select individually, this technique can be a valuable time saver when a large selection set is needed. • Care should be taken when using select by size. All entities of the same size will be selected. Make sure “extra” selections do not occur. • Other macros are also available in the same directory. Macros are written in Jscript and can be opened and viewed using typical text editors such as Notepad. ANSYS Workbench - Simulation • The result of running the select. By. Size macro is that all similarly sized surfaces are automatically added to the selection set as shown on the previous page. August 26, 2005 Inventory #002266 WS 4. 1 -13

Linear Structural Analysis . . . Workshop 4. 1 - Solution Because of the

Linear Structural Analysis . . . Workshop 4. 1 - Solution Because of the presence of frictionless supports non bonded contact, DS will trigger the use of weak springs during the solution. If we know the model is fully constrained we can turn off this function. Before turning off weak springs make SURE that rigid body motion is prevented. Failing to do so can result in an unconverged solution. 19. Highlight the Solution branch and from the details window change “Weak Springs” from “Program Chosen” to “Off”. 20.
