Educate ourselves together, on the role of a Structural Performance Engineer

Image
Structural Performance Engineer delivers industry-leading Abaqus technology through a guided user interface on the 3D EXPERIENCE platform, allowing design engineers to benefit from virtual testing for knowledgeable  technical decision-making. Introduction to  the  role Product engineers may simulate structural linear  & nonlinear static, frequency, buckling, modal dynamic response, and structural thermal behaviour of components and assemblies using Structural Performance Engineer on the cloud-based 3D EXPERIENCE platform.                During the design phase, Structural Performance Engineer assists Design Engineers in examining the structural performance of products. Structural Performance Engineer gives the technical insights to the Professionals requires for meaningful design decisions through an easy & guided user interface.

Different Modes of Combination in Response Spectrum by SolidWorks Simulation

Image
The response spectrum method is used to compute inertial response, estimates of response quantities developed for each mode, each direction of excitation and each input, if multiple inputs are considered. The total response is then formed by summing over all modal component, spatial component and excitation component responses. It estimate the structural response to short, nondeterministic, transient dynamic events. Examples of such events are earthquakes and shocks. Since the exact time history of the load is not known, it is difficult to perform a time-dependent analysis. It is a widely used procedure for performing elastic dynamic seismic analysis, represents the set of the maximum acceleration, velocity or displacement responses of a family of single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) damped oscillators.   Fig: 1 For a given time period of system, maximum response is picked. This process is continued for all range of possible time periods of SDOF system. Final plot with system time perio...

Thermal Stress Effect On Heat Treatment Baskets

Image
Quenching is a process I which metal components are heated below the melting temperature and suddenly cooled in water, due to heating and sudden cooling the molecular structure will be changed, as the molecular structure changes there will be an increase in load with standing capacity etc. Not only quenching, also process like heat treatment of components are done in industries which manufacture gears as shown in Fig: 1   Industries uses this process for strengthening the product, we uses different heat treatment basket for small components for batch process as shown in Fig: 2. Different designs of baskets are used for different industry, when the components are heat treated then the baskets are also heated, upon repeated heating and cooling of the basket the life of the basket will decrease due to that there will be more scrap or rework on basket, which is an loss to the company, also there can be chance of shape change due to the internal thermal stress produced in the basket. So...
