TASK 6

APPLYING ON MESH CONTROL

& BOUNDARY CONDITIONS
1- Two of the boundary conditions in the video were discussed, state
the purpose of “elastic support”, “compression only support” and
“frictionless support” and when to use them. Give examples if
there is.
2- the pull up bar task which was given to you. Open ANSYS
wb and import the .STEP file of the model given to you and
apply the following:

a) apply a suitable mesh method, sizing and global controls

if needed to obtain a fine mesh around holes and curved
areas
- target an average skewness value under 0.25.
- examine the areas where large stresses are
expected using meh metric and increase mesh
density as well as mesh quality in those regions.

b) apply a force of 1000N in the middle of the bar (you will

need to face split the rod) and insert suitable boundary
conditions that simulate the bolts then calculate:
Equivalent stress, Total deformation, safety factor.
(NOTE: leave the automatic connection between rod
and side plate as bonded)

c) calculate the reaction forces on the bolts. (Your

theoretical calculations from task 2 should be close to
simulation results)
d) Are the results logical to you? What could you change in
the design if the safety factor is unacceptable?

- Insert figures of mesh, boundary conditions & every result in

the project.
- Send the report preview beside the project.
- Save project as follows: file > archive > save project.
- Create a folder by your name in the session folder and
upload your data to it.
