6. Conclusion:
A linear static analysis was performed using the Autodesk Nastran Version 14.0.0.202 finite element solver on the
akgzm6y7c structure. The finite element model contained mainly 5th Top Angle:1 elements and consisted of 2060517
degrees of freedom.1 loading condition was analyzed.

The maximum displacement was 0.1847 mm (load case Subcase 1) The maximum von Mises stress was 6.998 (load
case Subcase 1).

Maximum Von Mises Stress (MPa) = 60.41 @ Lifting Lug

Maximum Principal Stress (MPa) = 67.02 @ Lifting Lug

As all induce stresses are within allowable stress limits one equipment in the lifting condition conclude that
the Cyclone Upper Part would be safe during Lifting.

Aspect Ratio
Ratio of an element's longest side to its adjacent side.
Bi-Directional Slide
Prevents contacting regions from separating or closing but permits sliding (zero coefficient of friction
Bounding Box
A three-dimensional cube aligned to the global x,y and z axes that exactly contains a body or assembly.
Follower Force
Loads that follow the motion of the structure as it deforms.
General Contact
Models standard nonlinear surface contact with friction if specified.
Relative Stress Error
A measure of mesh convergence (values greater than 0.01 may indicate that further mesh refinement is required
in areas with large stress gradients over a few elements).
Rough Contact
Nonlinear contact that allows separation and closure but does not permit sliding (infinite friction).
Skew Angle
The angle between the lines that join opposite midsides of a quadrilateral face.
Solution Error Measure
A measure of solution quality (values less than 1.0E-07 are generally considered acceptable).
Taper Ratio
The ratio of the areas on the two sides of a diagonal of a quadrilateral face.
Warping Angle
The extent to which a quadrilateral face deviates from being planar.
Welded Contact
Prevents contacting regions from sliding, separating, or closing.
