Week 5 Sphere pressing on a plate

OBJECTIVES:

In this challenge, we have to perform the analysis to simulate a sphere pressing on a plate by using Structural steel for both sphere and plate but the material of the plate must be Non-Linear. Press the sphere onto plate 4mm downwards and retract it.

PROCEDURE:

First, we have to input the engineering materials with required properties or else by creating with required properties.

Then we have to import our model into Ansys, import the model and open it in space claim so that Ansys will read it.

Then create symmetry on both sides of the sphere and plate to ensure the result to be a complete sphere.

Then assign required connections in this assignment we will use frictional contact between the sphere and plate.

MESHING:

Use default settings to generate the mesh.

Analysis setting with fixed support and displacement.

Displacement Values:
