Ive actually been refferring to the Parker handbook but I cant find sufficent info regarding chamfer leading edges.
I must have skipped over it. Ill go back and get digging.
Thanks both
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...
Thanks for the input Greg,
Im happy with the x and y coordinates. My concern is the depth z profile) the part that i have and that has been 3 scanned appears to be considerably deeper than most naca duct profiles.
Or should I be aiming for something with a sweep more like this?https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=fe402e1e-e6b4-4c63-9a82-5473f800971d&file=NACA8.PNG
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...
thanks for the response FEA way, I vaugly remember looking into this a while back for i sepoerate reason. I have a feeling that you cannot add point a mass on my version of Ansys (17.0) but I do have access to the student version.
I will look into it.
Thanks again.
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...
Thanks for this FEA way, this seems like a good soultion also as at least i know the geometry will be sufficient for use within the explicit solver (better that importing geometry from an external model at least.
I had a quick attempt at inmporting the sketch by means of a Step file but it did...
Thanks for your input both, I am a new user to Abaqus so there is obviously a lot I am yet to learn.
FEA Way - Im assuming that there is a beam profile feature on Abaqus yes? The reason, my worry is that I would not be able to import my 3d sketch from Solidworks to use as a reference, I would...
Thanks for the advice, the chassis I have imported has been imported as once whole part as opposed to separate sections (which is why this is throwing me off) I have tried the tie constrain as you suggested but I have no luck, I have simplified the chassis structure for the moment and have only...
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...
