2. SRAC 2001 Structure Analysis

3. SRAC 2001 What can we get in CAE ? Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software. Used in finite element analysis (FEA) is suitable for solving complex problems. Analysis the situation and Solve problems : Stresses, Strains, Displacement, Deformation, Heat transfer, Optimization…...

4. SRAC 2001 Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Finite Element Analysis can powerfully to solve: Complex shapes, Different structural components connect together (beams, solids and shells) Structures composed of various materials.

5. SRAC 2001 Finite Element Analysis (FEA) “Accurstress’ function to create finite element: Automatically create the small finite element for the very small area or faces Fast to get the accuracy result

6. SRAC 2001 Application of Cosmos/Works Static Analysis Contact Stress Analysis Frequency Analysis Buckling Analysis Thermal Analysis Optimization Analysis

7. SRAC 2001 Advantage of Cosmos/Works Operation with SolidWorks directly Create Web Report automatically User friendly (easy to use) Reduce: Design Cycle, Manufacturing Cost, Product Cost & Engineers calculation time.

8. SRAC 2001 Application of Cosmos/Motion Displacement, Velocities, & Acceleration plots Trace Paths 3D contact Review reaction Forces Export to FEA, ADAMS Optimization Analysis

9. SRAC 2001 How does COSMOS/Motion Fit into Virtual Testing  Determine if a design is going to work before a physical prototype is made or tested.  Save time in design & development  Evaluate many more ideas than you can physically  Save money in testing  Makes FEA more accurate.  Reduces Tooling Modification costs.  Get products to market quicker  Reduce product failures, Reduce warranty costs

10. SRAC 2001 How does COSMOS/Motion Fit into Virtual Testing  Physics Based Motion Simulation  Communicate ideas/information about mechanisms  Determine how the mechanism will move.  Find Clearance/Interference through entire range of motion  Create Animations as.AVI and VRML files  Will the mechanism work…for sure?  Analyze the engineering data behind the motion  Determine how forces effect the mechanism  Determine reaction forces, loads, torques, accelerations, velocities

11. SRAC 2001 Why is there a Need for Virtual Testing?  Manufacturing / Design Companies Need to:  Reduce Product Development Time  Reduce Overall Costs  Improve Product Quality  Daratech 1999  Virtual testing answers three questions:  What does it look like? -Ans: Design it in SolidWorks  Will it work? -Ans: Simulate it in COSMOS/Motion  Will it break -Ans: Analyze it in COSMOS/Works

12. SRAC 2001 simple 5-step process  The ease of use, speed, and power of COSMOS/Works & COSMOS/Motion does not require a dedicated analyst to produce useful results. You can make the overall process, which is often seen as very complicated to uninitiated users, simple by describing it as a simple 5-step process:  Define the geometry  Define the component materials.  Define the physical situation with boundary conditions.  Mesh the model and solve the analysis equations – fast and simple.  View and evaluate the computed results and communicate them to others.
