Welcome to episode 3! Are you ready to delve into the world of structural simulations and predict stresses in a pressure vessel assembly? Join us for this tutorial where we’ll guide you through the step-by-step process of preforming a linear static structural analysis.
Why perform a Linear Static Structural Analysis on a Pressure Vessel?
Linear Static Analysis is a powerful method used to evaluate the behavior of structures under various loading conditions. In this episode, we’ll focus on a pressure vessel assembly and analyze the stresses generated due to an applied internal pressure.
We will utilize the advanced capabilities of SIMULIA, available in the Structural Designer Role on the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform. This powerful tool enables us to perform accurate structural simulations, providing valuable insights into the behavior of the pressure vessel under different loading scenarios.
Key steps covered:
- Save and convert the SOLIDWORKS® model to 3DEXPERIENCE object
- Lunch the Linear Structural Validation App and Import model
- Assign Material
- Assign Contact
- Apply Bolt Connections
- Apply Planar Symmetry Restraint
- Apply Clamp Restraint
