Hi all,
I have a radial o-ring seal (4mm Cross section, 13mm ID)and I am looking for some literature regarding the leading edge chamfer dimension to aid in o-ring assembly/insertion.
I have tried a couple of places but I cant seem to find any solid literature on the subject.
From what I have...
I have been working on a design that features a fluid manifold made from A standard grade PTFE (temp increase up to 200C). my intention was to use a plug (which will act effectivly as a blacking plug) as I need to seal off the area. To keep expansion rates the same, i was going to use to same...
Hi all, just looking for some help and advice on a NACA duct that i modelling up on CAD.
I am in the process of building a closed-wheel time-attack race car, I had a NACA duct intake that feeds air directly into the radiators and oil coolers. Unfortunately the carbon fibre moulded NACA duct I...
Hello all,
I am currently analysing the crash deformation and structual strength of a tubular space frame chassis.
The chassis weight is around 130kg, I have no issue with my current set up simulation. However this result is unrealistic. the final weight of the car (engine, gearbox, driver...
Hi, I hope that someone can help me.
I am currently investigating the crash deformation of a tubular space frame chassis on Ansys (Explicit Dynamics)
Ansys has a number of preset Explicit Dynamic Materials that define the characteristics required to help model the material requirements for use...
Hello,
I am analysing a tubular-frame chassis collision using the explicit dynamics solver on Ansys.
I have sufficient data regardign the 3140 steel properties as you would expect. However I want to explore the deformation and I want to allow the structure to deform to try and give a best...
Hello,
I want to analyse a the deformation of tubular space frame chassis on Abaqus under a crash scenario using explicit dynamics.
I have created the model on Solidworks using the weldment feature and imported the part into Abaqus as a parasolid file.
however upon completion of the run it...
Hi All,
I want to analyse the the deformation of a tubular space frame chassis by the means of a crash test simulation. I am using Abaqus and will use an explicit solver to analyse the short during event that will undergo highly nonlinear and transient forces. I am currently in the process of...
Hi all,
I am a relatively new Ansys user and am currently analysing a space frame chassis with means of exploring the structure deformation upon impact of rigid surface.
I have created the chassis by using the 'weldment' feature on Solidworks and imported the Solidworks assembly (chassis and...
