ASSIGNMENT 1

LINEAR STATIC ANALYSIS

Learning Outcome LO2 Adapt pre-processing, solving and post processing methods in CAE
(LO):
standard software to solve a specific problem.
LO3 Demonstrate effectively either as a member or leader in group to solve
problems using CAE tools.
Program Outcome: PO3 Ability to design solutions for broadly-defined engineering technology
problems, and to design systems, components or processes to meet
specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety,
as well as cultural, societal, environmental and sustainability concerns.
PO6 Ability to function effectively as individuals, and as members or leaders in
diverse technical teams.
Synopsis: 1. To analyse using linear static analysis in Ansys structural analysis.

You are the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) Engineer at Magna Steyr International. Company want
to introduced new material for current knuckle design. Company suggested 7 new material to apply at
the knuckle. So you as the CAE Engineer of this part need to analyze the knuckle with various type of
new material and need to choose one best material that suit with this knuckle design but still need to
comply the supension test.The model setup of knuckle in Solidthinking Inspire as per below:

Bolted to
damper

Load (z-direction):
Load (y-direction): 1000N
600N

Load (y-direction):
2500N
Bolted to
lower arm
Load (y-direction):
600N

Figure 2: Model setup in Ansys

You need to compile the report for this knuckle analysis results. Items that need to include in the report:

1. Grid sensitivity analysis.

2. The maximum Von Mises results. (screenshot the area of maximum stress occurred)

3. The maximum displacement results. (screenshot the area of maximum displacement occurred)

4. Calculate the safety factor of the part. (show your calculation of safety factor)

5. Eplain the chosen grid size. Explain the type of constraintand load use in the setup. Discuss the outcome.
