EXERCISE 5
Analysis of a stepped cylindrical bar using ANSYS Workbench
Question: Analyse the stresses, strain, deformation of a bar given below
I. Learning objectives:
1. To understand the geometry and develop the relevant FEM model.
2. To understand the external loads and supports from the question and convert them into
loads & boundary conditions in FEM.
3. To Perform structural analysis and derive results using ANSYS Workbench.
II. Software & Hardware:
Software used: ANSYS Workbench, Release 19.0 UP20171214
Hardware used:
Device Used: LAPTOP-OC2HTQUJ
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10300H CPU @ 2.50GHz 2.50 GHz
Installed RAM: 8.00 GB (7.84 GB usable)
III. Procedure:
Workbench is opened and static structural is selected.
In static structural, the material of the bar is selected by using Engineering data.
Then, in the geometry, new designmodeler is selected for designing the stepped
cylindrical bar as per the dimensions provided in the question.
After that, model is selected to mesh the whole model and provide the boundary
conditions and loads as per the question.
Then, the deformation, stress, strain were selected from the solution section.
