In this tutorial, we'll learn simulation of a plate with a hole in SOLIDWORKS 2020. First of all, we'll model rectangular plate with a hole and then we'll do simulation. We will also generate word report of the simulation. Don't forget to add simulation add-in before making static simulation study. The simulation contains the following steps: 1) Define your Study (Static) 2) Assigning your Materials 3) Apply Boundary Conditions (Free Body Diagram) 4) External Loads 5) Meshing the Model 6) Run the Analysis (Solve) 7) View the Results 8) Generating Word Report It is a good exercise for beginners and it will be a good practice for beginners. Kindly use play pause technique for practice. Feel free to ask your queries in comment section. I will try to answer each and every question. Keep practicing as practice makes a man perfect. #solidworkssimulationofplatewithahole​ #solidsimulation2020​ #solidworkssimulationreport #CADable

In this tutorial, we'll learn basic static torque simulation in SOLIDWORKS 2020. First of all, we'll model a solid shaft with a rectangular plate and then we'll do simulation. Here, I have used Axis, Split Line features which will be used when we apply load (torque) on the shaft. Don't forget to add simulation add-in before making static simulation study. The simulation contains the following steps: 1) Define your Study (Static) 2) Assigning your Materials 3) Apply Boundary Conditions (Free Body Diagram) 4) Meshing the Model 5) Run the Analysis (Solve) 6) View the Results After completing the first simulation, I have created two more simulations by changing the position of the applied torque. Remember I have used same: a) Material b) Geometry c) Boundary Conditions d) Torque (100 N.m) e) Mesh Density The only thing I have change in simulation two and three, is the position of applied torque. And here you will see the difference. This difference is not so big but it is there. I have also shown true scale

Welcome back to CADable. This is Engr. Ibrahim Omer. In this tutorial, we will learn how to simulate a bar with a hole in the center using Ansys Workbench. The objective is to perform a static structural analysis. Let's go through the steps involved in this process. Step 1: Select Analysis Type We begin by selecting the analysis type, which in this case is static structural. Ansys Workbench provides various analysis types to suit different engineering problems. Step 2: Define Engineering Data Next, we need to define the engineering data for our simulation. We will apply structural steel as the material for the bar. Ansys Workbench offers a material library, but we will also cover how to select a different material if needed. Step 3: Create Geometry In this tutorial, we will use Ansys Design Modeler to create the geometry of the bar. However, you can also import geometry from other CAD software such as Solidworks, Catia, or Fusion 360 into Ansys Workbench. Step 4: Meshing After creating the geometry, we move on to meshing or discretizing the model. We will use a default mesh size of 0.5 inches. Additionally, we will cover how to create a custom mesh if desired. Step 5: Apply Boundary Conditions Now it's time to apply the boundary conditions. We will fix one face of the bar to represent a fixed support and apply a load of 200lbf in the positive x-direction on the opposing face. The boundary conditions define the constraints and loads on the structure. Step 6: Solve and Evaluate Results Once the boundary conditions are applied, we solve the problem to obtain the deformation, equivalent stress, maximum principal strain, and reaction forces. We will also evaluate the results, such as animating the deformation and examining the stress, strain, and reaction forces. Ansys multiplies the deformation by a certain factor for visualization purposes, but we will view the 1:1 deformation. Step 7: Analyze Results During the analysis, we will observe that the force in the x-direction matches the applied force. We might encounter small forces in the y and z-directions, but these can be disregarded as numerical errors. We will also examine the maximum and minimum stress values and use the probe command to determine stresses at various locations in the structure.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to CADable with Engr. Ibrahim Omer. Today, we're diving into a neat tutorial on SolidWorks where we'll learn how to apply loads to specific areas on a model. So, let's break it down step by step. First, we'll start by drawing a simple rectangle. Then, we'll extrude it to give it some depth. Next, we'll sketch another rectangle on the surface where we want to apply our forces. We'll use the split line command here to divide the face using our sketch. But remember, even after splitting, it's still just one solid body. No need to worry about multiple bodies here. Now comes the exciting part. We'll enable the SolidWorks Simulation add-in and proceed with all the necessary steps like applying materials and fixing boundaries (think of these as constraints). It's essential to ensure our model behaves realistically under the loads we're about to apply. After setting up our boundaries, it's time to apply the load to our chosen area or segment. Imagine this as putting weight on a specific spot of your model to see how it reacts. Once that's done, we'll mesh our model. Think of meshing like dividing your model into tiny elements to simulate its behavior accurately. Finally, we'll run our study, and voila! We'll get results showing us things like stresses, displacements, and strains. Now, I won't dive deep into explaining these results here, please watch tutorials at the end if you want to learn how to interpret results etc. If you're curious about how static structural analysis works, stick around for some extra videos I'll share later on. This tutorial is crafted especially for beginners, so don't hesitate to pause and replay if needed. And if you have any questions along the way, drop them in the comments below. We're here to help each and every one of you learn and grow in your CAD skills. Remember, practice is key!
