Week 2 Railwheel and Track

Rail wheel and track 

Objective: 

stimulating the rail wheel and track using static structural material in order to evaluate the result. 

Procedure: 

importing the geometry in mechanical module and assigning material for the component. 

Now we have to assign contacts for the rail wheel and track, the contacts are frictional- wheel to running rail 

Frictionless- shaft to the wheel 

then we have to assign a fixed joint for the non-movement of the track while running the wheel on them 

the other joint is transitional joint which is given to the shaft 

After they giving all the parameters now, we have to give a bearing load with the value of 5000N. As well as a joint displacement for the shaft. 

Results: 

Total deformation 

Equivalent stress 

Equivalent strain
