Cosmos works 5.0 shell assembly
Cosmos works 5.0 shell assembly
(OP)
Hi,
Im trying to run a static fea analysis on a bicycle frame using shells as the tubing which is quite thinwall (0.4mm-0.9mm). Cosmos apparently cant mesh multiple shells (ie the tubes in the frame) in an assembly,it can only shell mesh individual parts. It can only mesh solids elements in assembly mode. I tried using solids, but as expected the mesh failed i guess due to the huge number of solid elements required . Any ideas, advice on how to proceed would be helpful . Is Mechanica more capable of this type of analysis?
thanks,
Peyto

dsi, I cant use 2d pipe elements as some of the tubing is not all round (aero shaped), also I would like to analyze the effect of gusseting and fillet size.
It sounds like I need some more powerful software (and probably more computer power to run it).
