    Creating 2D weld elements in Autodesk Simulation Mechanical (Algor)

    Greetings, 1. Does any one know how I can draw in a long series of plate elements which represent the weld, on a midplane meshed structure (or brick element structure) which I have imported from Inventor? 2. Has anyone had much experience simulating welds using ASM? 3. Can anyone comment...

    shrink fits in Autodesk Simulation Mechanical

    Greetings, 1. I've been trying to do a shrink fit between a simple cylindrical steel hub (OD = 216 mm)and a solid round steel shaft (dia 140 mm) (using ASM). 2. I've been using solid brick elements for both parts. 3. I draw the parts assembled in inventor with zero mm radial interference 4. I...

    Looking for opinions on the use of Autodesk Simulation mechanical (ASM) for steel plate structures

    Greetings, Could any one give me their opinions on the use of Autodesk Simulation Mechanical (ASM) for the strength and fatigue analysis of welded or bolted steel plate structures? Our draftspersons use Inventor exclusively so ASM is an obvious choice however, we are also considering NX Nastran...

    Stress Analysis of Weldments In Inventor or Algor

    HI, I am using Inventor 2011 for FEA of welded structures. Generally it is ok unless I am interested in the stresses in the weld. I get a lot of stress singularities here. I also have a number of issues when I try to model a flange that has been welded around its outside to another member or...
