Static Analysis On Plate with Holes Using SolidWorks

Aim

Perform a static analysis of two models of the plate with holes. You will have to create the model in Solidworks and perform the analysis.

Objective

• Perform a static analysis on two models of plates with holes
• Apply a fixed relation to one of the short sides of the plate and apply a force of 1000N on the other such that the plate is stretched.

Procedure

1. Model the 2 different kinds of models based on the above dimensions.
2. Start a new simulation case study
3. Apply the material as alloy steel.
4. define one of the sides with the shortest distance as fixed geometry.
5. And apply stretching (Tension) force of 1000N on the other side.
6. Create mesh and run the simulation.

   Material: Alloy Steel

   Mesh Type: Fine Mesh

Model Created

• Case 1

Length=300mm
Height=120mm
Thickness=30mm
Circular Hole at the center:
Diameter=60mm

• Case 2

Length=300mm
Height=120mm
Thickness=30mm
Circular Hole at the center:
Diameter=60mm

Two holes of 30 mm diameter are placed 90mm away from the central hole on both sides.

Results Obtained by Static Analysis on both Cases

• Case 1

• Case 2

Conclusion

• from the above two studies, we can understand the variation of displacement, stress, and strain.
• In case-2 is better because of it subjects to less failure compared to case 1.
