SOLIDWORKS Simulation - “Durability Analysis for Random Vibration”
What is Random Vibration Fatigue? Structures or Mechanical components are subjected to random form of loading. Wind Loads, Wave Loads, Car engine operating on different moving roads are such examples. Random loading changes over time. Random vibration involves dynamic loading conditions. Random Vibration Fatigue Three methods to compute the expected damage ratio due to random loading Fatigue. Narrow Band Method Steinberg Method Wirsching Method Loading and response are random processes Frequency based fatigue is required for such loading conditions. They use statistical measures for solutions. Requires a Dynamic random vibration study run for Fatigue calculation. New Fatigue study involves stress PSD(Power Spectral Density) What are Dynamic Loads ? Dynamic loads are classified to deterministic or non deterministic. Deterministic loads defined are functions of time and predicted precisely. They are harmonic, periodic o...
SOLIDWORKS SIMULATION - SUBMODELLING
Overview St. Venant’s Principle The stresses reasonably distant from an applied load on a boundary are not significantly altered if this load is changed to a Statically Equivalent Load. The distribution of stress and strain is altered only near the regions of load application FEA Which Includes with a large number of parts, the new Submodeling feature allows you to improve the results at critical areas without having to rerun the analysis for the whole model. Refining the mesh for a selected portion of the model and rerunning the analysis only for the submodel saves computation time. Key Benefits of Submodeling Transfer of Complex Global Loads from the entire structure to Local Regions to obtain Accurate Stress in a Local Region. Enables to experiment with Different Designs for the Region of Interest by refining mesh on the particular part Rerunning the analysis only for the submodel saves computation time
Improve your product performance, quality and reduce your prototyping costs
What is SolidWorks Simulation? SolidWorks Simulation virtually tests the product designs in real time conditions before manufacturing. With Simulation, designers and engineers can develop new concepts and innovate with design insights Why SolidWorks Simulation? SolidWorks Simulation helps the design engineers to validate for extreme loading conditions and various classes of materials in the real time conditions . It performs complex part and assembly problems within integrated SolidWorks environment. The tool helps the designers to make the decision for their exact product requirement. Designers can concentrate on various factors like Stress, Strain, Displacement, Factor of Safety and Temperature Distribution to obtain the optimised product design. This tool will also validate for non linear and dynamic problems and vibration effects on the designs. Benefits of SolidWorks Simulation Reduce prototyping costs Easily tackle the...
