SPHERE PRESSING

AIM

An Analysis is to be carried out to simulate a sphere pressing on a plate and experiencing plastic deformation on the plate.

PROCEDURE

• Open ansys workbench .
• Update the material module as STRUCTURAL STEEL(Nl).
• Geomtery - import-SPHERE PRESSING ON A PLATE
• Model-edit
• Rename the model.
• Assign STRUCTURAL only to the PLATE (FRICTIONAL)
• FRICTIONAL COEFFCIENT
• Then create a contact between the SPHERE AND PRESS.
• Then create FIXED support to the plate.
• Then adjust the mesh .
• Then assign the displacemnt along the negative Y direction.
• THen create symmetry sice it considers the whole model to be symmterical.
• Then update the analysis settings.
