Gno Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 Can someone please direct me to some stress analysis tutorials. I have a 1/8"wall steel tubing and wanted to apply a force to it. i Clicked force on the panel, entered my magnitude, selected the direction, click ok and nothing happens. -Color Bar -Results -Animate result None of these options are enabled to be used. Is there a step that i havent done prior to step analysis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gno Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 I attached the file Thanks in advance VertRail.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 you have to select a location for the force on your part as well. You also need to have some constraints(fixed) consitions, material selection for anything to work. There are nice tutorials built into the softaware. I have an older version of IV here at work so I cant look at your file. can you post a screen shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinglevel Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 i did my first stress test today, and it was very very easy... placed a simple 5000mm long HEA structure from content center. enter stress environment. choose the two faces (Start and end of the part) and applyed constrains. apply a force from the side. run simulation.. worked straight away Love it.. Now i just need to sketch out our crane that we bulit and stress test it... How about moving parts? like a crane.. the stresses will be different depending on how far the arm is from center, how do i do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gno Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Got it!! I never updated the ANASYS...smh:shock:. Thanx for the input shift. Thanx for rubbing the your victory in King:P All is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 king. I dont know that inventors ansys solver has the ability to do assemblies yet. Basically you have to analyze each part individually. I do most of my fea stuff with Solidworks. I know that you can do a weld analysis on a weldment in inventor but i dont believe you can take a weldment or structure into the Simulation environment. BUT, there is dynamic simulation. it will let you put an assembly into a simulation envrionment and input forces and torques and see how things interact and get information about points that you pick.

shift1313 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 thats a single part though, not an assembly. at least it looks that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Mather Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 king. I dont know that inventors ansys solver has the ability to do assemblies yet. Inventor 2010 no longer uses ANSYS solver and does do assembly FEA. http://www.amazon.com/Running-Autodesk-Inventor-Simulation-Step/dp/1856176940/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1253215519&sr=8-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shift1313 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 your right JD, i looked at GNOs sig and saw inventor 2009 and not kings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Playing with stress analysis in IV09 keeps me busy and that's on single parts, not looking forward to setting up assembly's when we get 2010:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
