    Getting stress tensor

    Hello friends I modeled a power screw and its nut in mechanical desktop and imported this model into ANSYS 13. I want to locate the stress concentration and also stress tensor over the screw. Attached photo is an overview of this model. 1- There is contact between screw threads and internal...

    Having problem in definiing support for my analysis

    Thank you so much for your response. I imported geometry from MECHANICAL DESKTOP and ANSYS already recognized contact regions. I defined a frictional contact for contact between screw and nut and after some searches I found out in 'define contact details' section under 'advanced menu', if...

    Having problem in definiing support for my analysis

    Dear George Thank you very much for your response. Actually, it is a lead screw which should change the rotation of the Nut to a linear motion to move 15 N force which is applied over it. I want to substitute the material of the lead screw which is stainless steel 304 with a special type of...

    Having problem in definiing support for my analysis

    I tried to do a static structural analysis. My model consists of a lead screw, a nut and a pintle over lead screw. In reality Nut rotates around an axis (lets name this axis Y). Since lead screw supports are in such a way that it cannot rotate, this rotation causes the screw moves along the same...

    Units of Nastran analysis

    Dear Onda Thank you very much I applied your advice and it was really helpful. About the contact analysis, if I want to have the contact forces, should I use MASTER/DBALL instead of XDB? and is there any other regulation which should be applied?

    Units of Nastran analysis

    Dear Onda Thank you very much for your advise. As I mentioned before I think this could be the major mistake that I have made. I try to correct it using your comment. Could you please telling me how can I define the gravity value in Patran? Is it the Wt-Mass conversion in Solution parameters...

    Units of Nastran analysis

    Dear dwallace1971 Thanks for your response and help. I don't think displacements are too large so that the non linearity be appeared in the results. Anyway thanks for your kind response

    Units of Nastran analysis

    I have imported a precise model from mechanical desktop to Patran and did a linear static analysis. In this analysis I used following units: mm, kg, N, MPa the material that I have used was stainless steel 304 with tensile strength about 250 MPa. But the result shows a stress tensor with...
