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.

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. 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, a bolt load (X = 100 N) is used on the pulley to simulate the load from the drive belt. The bolt load will distribute the force over the face of the pulley only where the belt contact occurs (compression only).

Now we will add the frictionless supports to the 8 countersink portions of the mounting holes (shown here). Each of the required surfaces could be selected individually while holding the CTRL key however we will use a macro (select by size) provided with the DS installation. After selecting the initial surface, running the macro finds and selects all surfaces of the same size (area). Note, this macro also works with edges or bodies.

The result of running the selectBySize macro is that all similarly sized surfaces are automatically added to the selection set as shown on the previous page.

While the selections here (8 surfaces) would be trivial to select individually, this technique can be a valuable time saver when a large selection set is needed. Care should be taken when using select by size. All entities of the same size will be selected. Make sure extra selections do not occur. Other macros are also available in the same directory. Macros are written in Jscript and can be opened and viewed using typical text editors such as Notepad.

Because of the presence of frictionless supports non bonded contact, DS will trigger the use of weak springs during the solution. If we know the model is fully constrained we can turn off this function. Before turning off weak springs make SURE that rigid body motion is prevented. Failing to do so can result in an unconverged solution.

19. Highlight the Solution branch and from the details window change Weak Springs from Program Chosen to Off. 20. Solve

When the solution is complete highlight the results to plot each.


While the overall plots can be used as a reality check to verify our loads, the plots are less than ideal since much of the model is only slightly effected by them.

To improve the quality of results available we will scope results to individual parts.

Solve again.
Note: adding new results and resolving the model will not cause a complete solution to take place. Results are stored in the database and new quantities requires only an update.
