Notes on Workshop 2.1
Workshop Supplement
The first workshop is extensively documented. As this course progresses, students will become more familiar with basic Workbench Mechanical functionality (menu locations etc etc.), ) thus subsequent workshops will contain less details. Throughout these workshops menu paths are documented as: First pick > Second pick > etc.. Workshops begin with a goals section followed by an assumptions section. section

Workshop 2.1 - Goals

Using the Stress Wizard, set up and solve a structural model for stress, deflection and safety factor factor. Problem statement:
The model consists of a Parasolid file representing a control box cover (see figure). The cover is intended to be used in an external pressure application (1 Mpa/145 psi). The cover is to be made from aluminum y alloy. Our goal is to verify that the part will function in its intended environment.

WS2.1: Basics
Workshop 2.1 - Assumptions

We will represent the constrains on the counter bores, bottom contact area and inner sides using frictionless supports.
Frictionless supports place a normal constraint on an entire surface. Translational displacement is allowed in all directions except into and out of th supported the t d plane. l Since Si we would ld expect frictional forces to at contact areas this is a conservative approach.

Workshop Supplement
Notice that the model lies completely in +X space with the Y axis as the axis of revolution. This is q for axisymmetry. y y required Axisymmetry assumes that the model is a complete 360 degree model. For this reason no constraints in the X direction are required. The portion of the pressure load acting in the +X direction is assumed to be offset by an equal portion in the X direction.

Workshop Supplement
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 100N to test:
That the impeller will not deflect more than 0.075mm with the applied load. That the use of a plastic pump housing will not exceed the materials elastic limits around the shaft bore.
WS4.1-2
Workshop Supplement
Well 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. face 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, Finally a bearing load (X = 100 N) is used on the pulley to simulate the load from the drive belt. The bearing load will distribute the force over the face of the pulley only where the belt contact occurs.
