Live Simulation Results
|
Run live simulation on the initial part.
|
1. Force —100lbf applied on upper surface 2. Fixed constraint on lower surface. |
The initial value of Von Mises stress in the model is 16.1 MPa. The red band displays the area with the highest stress concentration. |
Round one of the edges that shows high stress.
|
1. Applied round to an edge that shows the highest concentration of stress. |
The value of stress is 13.99 MPa. |
Add chamfer to an edge that shows high stress.
|
1. Added chamfer to an edge that displays high stress results. |
The value of stress is 13.94 MPa. |
Add a pattern of support ribs to reduce the stress in the model.
|
1. Added a pattern of support ribs to reduce stress in the lower region of the model.. |
The value of stress is 14.33 MPa. |
Increase the height of support ribs to reduce the stress in the model.
|
1. Increased the height of the support ribs. |
The value of stress is 8.73 MPa which is within the allowed limits. |
