A sample project to show a possibility how to model pre-stress in a bolt.

This project validates distributed pressure and nodal stresses for a thick plate under pressure load.

Task 2: Thermal simulations
Study of the effects of different thermal phenomena (Convection, conduction, radiation) on: 
a. simple steel plate, 
b. multiple plates with the different materials(diff. conductivity)

Task 1- Study of the snapping mechanism using physical contacts

A simple nonlinear analysis is done here to simulate the effect of a Prestressed bolt on a metal bracket. Geometry includes a  Hexagon headed bolt of length 40mm and diameter 7mm and a nut, a U-shaped metal bracket with pin holes through its flanges. Contact applied: The bolt and nut are considered to be a single part to eliminate the need for a bonding contact. A frictionless physical contact(Penalty) is applied between the Bracket and each of the bolt and the nut. A pretension is applied to the contact between the nut and the bracket flange. Boundary conditions The base is fixed. Taking advantage of the model's symmetry, only half of the whole geometry is considered and symmetry about Y-axis is considered.

Frequency and Harmonic analysis of a holder

Dynamic Analysis of a Spring Mount System

Tutorial project for a stress analysis of a connecting rod. The project only provides the geometry to start with. See our tutorials section to have a look at the step-by-step instructions to set up the simulation.

In this project a static structural analysis of a gripper arm is demonstrated.
