Week 8 - Universal Joint

Aim - Simulation of Universal Joint

Procedure

1. import geometry, assign materials

2. Delete contacts

3. Create joints

4. Set up Analysis Settings - Number of steps = 5

5. Creste joint load.

6. Run simulation

Case - 1 (Structutral Steel)

Case - 2 (Stainless Steel)

Case - 3 (Titanium Alloy)
