Analysis

Analysis:
The word is a transcription of the ancient

Greek (analusis, "a breaking up",

fromana-"up, throughout" andlysis"a
loosening")
Analysisis the process of breaking a

complex topicor substance into smaller

parts to gain a better understanding of it.
The technique has been applied in the
study ofmathematicsandlogic

1. A static load is the effect of gravity on an object

or structure.
Example of a static load:
Weight of a bridge

2. A dynamic load is the forces that move or

change when acting on a structure.
Example of a dynamic load:
Force of wind or the weight of a truck

TYPES OF FEM ANALYSIS:

1. Structural Static Stress Analysis
2. Buckling Analysis
3. Fatigue Analysis
4. Forced Harmonic Oscillations Analysis
5. Thermal Analysis

1. Structural Static Stress Analys

is
Main results of static analysis are as
follows:
field of displacements of the structure in nodes of finite-

element mesh;
field of strain;
field components of the stress;
energy of deformation;
nodal forces;
field distribution of safety factor;
This information is usually sufficient to
predict the behavior of structures and make a
decision how to optimize the geometric shape of
the product.

2. Fatigue Analysis
The Fatigue Analysismodule is used in

conjunction withStatic analysis and allows

one to evaluate the strength of a structure,
which is subjected to cyclic loading. This

type of loading is usual in mechanical and

structural engineering.

Fatigue Analysis: Example crank shaft

3. Frequency Analysis
Frequency Analysis determines a

part's natural frequencies and the

associated mode shapes.
It can determine if a part resonates at

the frequency of an attached, powerdriven device, such as a motor.

Frequency Analysis
Example

Buckling Analysis
Critical buckling load analysis examines the

geometric stability of models under

primarily axial load.
It helps avoid failure due to buckling which

refers to sudden large displacements and

can be catastrophic if it occurs in the
normal use of most products.

Buckling Analysis

Forced Harmonic Oscillati

ons Analysis
Analysis of forced oscillations is performed

to predict the behavior of a structure under

external actions which change in
accordance with the harmonic law.
These actions include force and/or

kinematic excitation. In addition to it, the

impact of the system damping may be
taken into account.

ons Analysis

Thermal Analysis
Thermal Analysis the heat conduction problem has two

statements:
Steady-state thermal conductivity - the calculation of the steady

(stationary) temperature fields of structures under the applied

thermal boundary conditions;
Time-dependent thermal conductivity - the calculation of

temperature fields of construction is dependent on the time, that

is, temperature loads have been made relatively recently, and
there is a process of active redistribution of temperature fields;

HEAT TRANSFER :
The boundary conditions used are :

Temperature, heat flux, convective heat

transfer, thermal power, radiation.

Meshing the component
Selecting the materials from the list (its available in software

itself) for the component.

Conditions for meshing :

Stress analyzing:
First order Trianglemesh and tetramesh
should not use for stress analyzing during meshing.
Second order Trianglemesh and tetramesh
can use for stress analyzing during meshing.

Crash analyzing:
Avoid Rotating quads in crash analyzing
during meshing
