In this whitepaper we are going to investigate how to find and deal with stress concentrations, review mesh control and how it affects stress results. For beginners: before starting this practice, it is recommended to read the previous whitepapers, first. Problem Description During this study we analyse a rail support- […]
In this article we complete the FEA of the problem explained in the previous whitepaper by running the model, postprocessing, reviewing and discussing the results. It is recommended to read part 1 first, in here. 6- Run the Analysis To run the analysis, use either of the steps presented in […]
In this article we review the steps that should be followed during finite element analysis. To achieve meaningful results, all these steps should be understood well. Problem Description The problem here is FEA of a notched rectangular bar, figure (1) under tension load (F=10kN); then, compare the FEA results with […]
Reading Time: about 5 minutes. In this paper we try to answer the common question of “If my model mesh quality is good enough or not?”. Before responding to this question we need to have a look at what we need to do before meshing and define the terms related […]
Reading Time: 5min. Meshing Following the previous paper about FEA, in this paper we are focused on meshing. Mesh orders and quality, adaptive meshing and compatible/ incompatible meshes will be discussed. Before starting discussion about mesh orders, it is better to have a definition about node degree of freedom. Degree […]
Reading Time: 4min. In this paper, Finite Element Analysis, its applications and its inherent errors are discussed and the available mesh types are reviewed. The main focus of this paper is on the SolidWorks Simulation. What is Finite Element Analysis? Finite Element Analysis or FEA, is a numerical method for […]
During this project the support body of a silo was modeled and Analysed for stress/ deflection distributions and buckling analysis under static load. To achieve this, SolidWorks Simulation Linear Buckling Analysis was employed. The base frame CAD model is presented in figure (1). Figure (1)- 3D Cad Model of Silo […]
To clearly represent differences between the two most common standards for design of access stairways a hypothetical stairway was investigated. The differences between two standards are listed in table (1). Table (1)- AS1657 and AS1428.1 Comparison Specification AS1657 AS1428.1 When Height More than 300mm Access for people with disabilities Width […]
esolidesign has experience of design, FEA, manufacturing drafting of various types of hydraulic gates. The type of gates are included but not limited to Bulkhead gates, Penstock Gates, Radial Gates and Flap Gates. The gates could be either aluminum or stainless steel. During one of our projects a bulkhead gate was […]
