Week 1 Stress Concentration on a Plate with hole

#1 Week Ansys WorkBench

CASE-1:

• Open the Ansys Work-Bench.
• Select the Static structural.

• Click on the New Space Claim Geometry,

• The window will open graphical area as below, you can see tools

• Create a rectangle with specified Dimensions

Length=300

Height=120

Pull=30

• Select the circle tool and center the dimension 60 Diameter.

• Use the pull tool and drag to specified value as 30.

• Goto Ansys Workbench click on update.

• Click on model and click on update.

• Click on Edit.

• New window will open and to create the mesh click on mesh and enter the mesh size check the units to "mm".

• If you want to make a tetrahedron right click on thje mesh andf create the method to Tetrahedron and select the component.

Total Displacement:

Equivalent Elastic Stress:

CASE-2:

Same as above create the other circles with diameter=30 with 90mm from the center of the rectangle.

• Use pull option with drag of 30.

Click on geomtery and and update.

Now click on model and update it.

Click on edit , a new window opens

Create the mesh as case-1.

Create fixed support and force with given value of 500N.

• Click on the solution and click on solve you can see both simulations.

Total Deformation:

Equivalent Elastic Stress:
