    Goals

    Customer Training Material

    Our goal is to investigate the vibration characteristics of a motor


    cover manufactured from 18 gage steel (0.0478in/1.2141mm). The
    cover is to be fastened to a device operating at 1000 Hz.

    Assumptions

    Customer Training Material

    The cover is meant to slip over a cylinder and be constrained at the


    bolt hole locations. To simulate the area contacting the cylinder the
    surface has been split (see below). We will use a frictionless support
    on this surface to simulate the contact area. The frictionless support
    type applies a constraint that is normal to the surface, thus axial and
    tangential movement is allowed while radial motion is not.

    To simulate the bolted connections a


    fixed support type will be used on the
    edges of the bolt holes.

    Preprocessing

    Customer Training Material

    Since the model consists of surface geometry the


    part will be meshed with shell elements. Surface
    geometry requires input for thickness in the details.

    a.
    5. Specify Part thickness:
    a. Highlight the 1 branch.

    Note : The Thickness field is currently displayed in


    yellow to indicate it is undefined. Also, the Part has a
    question mark next to it which means that it is not fully
    defined

    b. Click in the Thickness field and set


    Thickness = 0.05 in.

    Note : Entering a thickness for the part changes the status


    icon from a question mark to a check mark meaning that it
    is now fully defined.
