 Challenge
To quickly analyze very complex geometry under test conditions, without having any information about the critical areas. Thus the model required a good level of detail everywhere, and the detailed features, such as rounds, could not be neglected.
Solution
Geometry was imported from Pro/E into ANSYS Workbench, which detected a few geometric singularities due to CAD modeling errors. Only a couple of geometry updates allowed provided the fix. The powerful Workbench tet mesher quickly filled the geometry with about a million nodes and 600K elements. The iterative solver quickly found the solution in about 2 hours on a standard Intel workstation. The most stressed region, was extremely localized, so was sub-modelled and nonlinearly analyzed inside Ansys, inserting plastic behavior to evaluate the maximum level of plastic deformation
Benefits
Engineering time saving and enhanced productivity:
1. Only few days are now needed to perform a complete test-bench simulation of very complex assemblies
2. Quickly identify the most stressed region and assess if the test will be passed.
