Hi.
Eric and Fernando,
Thanks for your kind reply.
For loop statement, I am able to call the points from excel data as below:
'retrive data from excel
sp = 32
For i = 1 To npoints
x = Excel.Cells(i + sp, 4).Value
y = Excel.Cells(i + sp, 5).Value
z = Excel.Cells(i + sp, 6).Value
However I...
Hi there,
I have search around this forum to create the polyline in CATIA using VB. What I found was reversed process (create the point from polyline).
My question is, how can I set the VB code to be repeated to create the polyline until the end of the point that I have created?
Below is the...
Capture view that I sent is two different result. The left result is from ABAQUS result while right hand result is RADIOSS result. But it is a same FE model. So the high stress occur at the same node however the value is different. This is my problem before.
By the way this problem is resolved...
First of all, I'm not the expert and I believe many more experts and specialists in this forum. I am just a beginner CAE operator.
Here I attached some capture view of the stress result. In this example, the stress different is ~150 MPa which is considered huge also.. If we refer back to...
Some additional info..
Beside spring comparison, I also compared the stress result of knuckle between NASTRAN and RADIOSS. Still RADIOSS gives lower stress result. This knuckle analysis also included material non-linear properties.
I also run knuckle analysis using ABAQUS and the stress result...
Basically it is a spring analysis. So it involves geomtric non-linearities.
Since current trend requires an ultimate optimize spring design, so the stress level set to be ~1000 MPa (SUP12 or SAE 9254). Based on tight maximum stress target, we also need to include material non-linear properties...
Hi there,
Currently I am fully use Hyperworks product in strength analysis. Start from pre-processing (HyperMesh), Solving (RADIOSS non-linear) and post-processing (HyperView & HyperGraph).
For comparing purpose, I also run same FE model (in terms of mesh model, load & BCs, material...
Thanks btrueblood for the link..
Previously I referred to mechanical engineering design text book by shigley.. However there is only conical spring attached there. And when I search in the internet "side load spring", there is always in Korean language which is I am not understand at all...
Hi,
I'm in the middle research of "side load spring design".
Can anybody here share any technical paper regarding side load spring design and side load spring FEA analysis?
Thanks in advance.
