Hello, I have to calculate the weighted arms dimensions (width) of a centrifugal clutch, knowing the engine power,the cluth radius,...etc . May someone give me some tips or formulas, or documentation links in order to solve this calculation? Thank you for you help, Regards, Mickaël

Hello, First, thank you for this website which is a very useful help for engineers! I'am trying to perform an analysis for a plate with two holes at each end for bolt. This plate has to overcome a force at on end. I used SHELL41 element. I would like to know how to define the bolted...

Hello, I am trying to made a fatigue analysis. Could you tell me where I could find some tutorials in order to learn how to do? Thank you for your help, Mickaël

Hello, I am doing a linear elastic analysis. My method usual is to create a free mesh in order to locate the high stress area and then create mapped meshes in order to have smallest element in these high stress areas. But in my case I'am analysing the maximum Von Mises equivalent stress and...

Hello, I am doing a FEA on a retention system made of steel blade. I have create a shell model and I want to twist the blade along its axis. The rotation value is 6°. Consequently I have applied at one end a 0 DOF constraint (clamp) and at the other end a 6° rotation displacement. I have...

Hello, I am doing a finite element analysis of a lamitated retention system. I have created a blade (roughly a 0.5mm sheet of metal) and I want to twist it along its longitunal axis with a displacment value equal to 6°. Consequently, I tried to do a non linear analysis since we have large...

Hello, I have to choose a turbine for my project. Soemone has heard about the Innodyn turbine (http://www.innodyn.com/)? Do you think the performances are realistic? Thank you for your help, Regards, Mickaël

Hello, I have a square plate (bxb), fixed on each side with a force Fspread all over the plate. I would like to know how to consider the influence of the thickness(e) of the plate for the constaints (sigma)? Thank you for your help, Regards, Mickaël

Hello, I have a problem wiht shell93 element. I tried to mesh a straight tube made of area with this element but I have a radius of curvature warning because of the shell thickness. I understand the warning (see Anys help), I don't know how to mesh a tube using 2D element like shell. Have...

Hello, I have some probleme to determine the loads acting on an engine mount. I have an engine mount which bears a 91 kg engine with 4 attachment point,at each corner of the engine. I am studying the lower attachment point of this mount. The engine is in cantilever. From my point of...

Hello, I made an analysis with 3D elements and I defined contact(to create a welded contact between tubes. I defined my material properties as linear isotropic. I checked all the results(eq stress, eq strain, rotation,displacement) in order to validate the linear elasticity field, and it's...

Hello, I have some tube welded together, I succeed to create these tubes as a solid model but now I have to add some angle plate or gusset between them. These plates are really important in these high stress areas. But it's seems quite difficult to create them. I could add them as a...

Hello, I have an engine mount made of tube, and I would like to apply a torque due to the cantilever create by the position of the engine. I am wondering how to apply this torque since I'am using 3D elements. Indeed 3D elements don't have rotation as degree of freedom. Consequently I can't...

Hi, I would like to mesh a tube in order to apply a moment on it (the tube is clamp at one end). I thought to use 3D elements but all these elements don't have rotation as degree of freedom, consequently I have no results(no displacement). That's why I would like to use a 2D mesh but I...

Hello, I would like to create an assembly between two tubes but I don't know how to do. I created a simple analysis with two tubes and I would like to create an assembly as if the two tubes was a unique part.The tubes are aligned according their longitudinal axis and there is a small gap...

Hello, I'm doing some test with ansys,and I have problems with accuracy. The analysis is a simple bending of a circular beam (outer diam:20mm thickness:2mm) with a force of 2000N at one end and a 0 degree of freedom at the other end. When I calculate analytically these problem I...
