Settings 1/2Depending on your needs, you may have to modify the CATIA V5 settings (units, defaultdirectory, visualisation parameters, etc…)

In order to use the appropriate settings for this tutorial, you have two possibilities:

1. Do the following operations (simplest one):?BEFORE STARTING YOUR CATIA V5 SESSION:? Copy or replace the directory ..\Generative Part Structural Analysis\Data\CATSettings in:

C:\Winnt\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemesC:\Documents and settings\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemesC:\Windows\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes XXXX is the name used to log on to your computer

? Do not forget to put this folder (CATSettings) in read mode: ? Select the folder (CATSettings)

? Click mouse button 3 then click on Properties and uncheck the Read-only Attribute? Select all the files in the folder? Click mouse button 3 then click on Properties and uncheck the Read-only

Attribute

2. Set them manually:? Launch your CATIA V5 session and do the operations from page 23 onwards

For NT users

For Windows 2000or XP users

For Windows98 users

Settings 2/2

For this tutorial you also need to install a material catalogue:? Do not do this step if you have already done it in getting started or in a previous tutorial

? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\ProgramFiles\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\French directory

? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\ProgramFiles\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\German directory

? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\ProgramFiles\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\Japanese directory

? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\ProgramFiles\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials directory

? Answer Yes in order to replace the old catalogue

You are now ready to launch your CATIA V5 session

Step 1: Show the Supporting Geometry

Loading the Product?Opening the assembly

?Go to File and Open the Drill_Press.CATProduct file in the..\Generative Part Structural Analysis\Data directory?Check you are in the AssemblyDesign workbench

? If not, select the Product Name inthe Specification tree, then select Start+ Assembly Design

?Select Manipulation icon?Select Y Translation inManipulation Parameters window?Check the With respect toconstraints option box

Step 1: Show the Supporting Assembly

? In the 3D view, drag the “slidingjaw” part along the Y axis (as shownby the yellow arrow) and then drag itback to the original position. Thisshows the assembly mechanism isproperly constrained

?Click OK to close the Manipulationwindow

?Click on the Update icon ifnecessary

? You should not have to do this ifyou are in Automatic Update

Step 2: Prepare the part for Analysis

?From this assembly you will open thepart and analyse its deformations. In thisCATIA demonstration mode you cannotStudy the Stress Analysis on a fullassembly because this product is notinstalled. If you are interested in anassembly evaluation, please contact yourBusiness Partner

? In the Menu bar, select Edit +Links… to look at the different partsincluded in that assembly?Select Pointed documents panel

?Select the ..\Generative PartStructuralAnalysis\Data\Screw.CATPart line?Click on the Open button

? The screw will be opened in a newwindow

?You will simplify the part by deactivatinga redundant pattern at the end of thescrew. (It will not affect the analysisresults.) This operation will savecomputation time.

?Click MB3 on CircPattern.1 in theSpecification tree then selectCircPattern.1 object + Deactivate

?Repeat the operation forCircPattern.2

?Now that you have prepared the part toanalyse, you will enter the appropriateworkbench

?From the Menu bar, select Start +Analysis & Simulation + GenerativeStructural Analysis

? In the New Analysis Case window,select Static Analysis then OK tovalidate

? A new window is opened with thescrew in the Analysis environment

Step 3: Assign Boundary Conditions

Setting the Boundary Conditions?Before computing, you need to indicatethe Boundary conditions

?Select Clamp icon from workbench

?Select one of the internal faces ofthe screw thread (Choose one of thescrew ends)

?Select OK to confirm

Step 4: Solve the problem

Computing the load problem?Setting the Temporary file calculation

?Click on the Elfini Storage Location icon?Define the corresponding directory E:\Tempusing Modify

? The results will be stored on your hard disk.You should not need more than 50MB. Todelete the results files, you can either manuallydelete them in Windows or click on the Clearbutton

?Select the Compute icon?Check the Preview option

?Click on the OK button to launch thecalculation

?After a few seconds, CATIA will come backwith an estimated time for computation of thisproblem.?Click Yes to continue

Step 5: Visualise the Results

?After computation, the results can bevisualised

? The Von Mises icon is availablewhen the computation is finished

?Click on the black arrow of thevisualisation mode and select theApplies customized view parametersicon

?Check the Materials option?Click OK to validate

?Click on the Von Mises icon? Now you can see the Von Misesstress distribution on the deformedmesh model

?Visualising the Von Mises image? To improve your view, hide Propertiesand Nodes and Elements usinghide/show in their contextual menu

?Multi-select both Nodes andElements and Properties in thespecification tree by holding down theCTRL key?Click MB3 on Properties + Hide/Show

?Move mouse cursor over finite elementsto visualise Von Mises values at eachnode

?You can modify the result display?Double-click on the palette?Enter 20 instead of 10

?Click OK to close the panel

Step 6: Analyse the Results

? Displaying the cutting plane to see theinside part values

?Select the Cut Plane icon?Select the view under the isometricpredefined view

?Clicking and moving the rotation axis asshown by the yellow arrow

?To translate the cutting plane, clickMB1 on the arc and drag it in thedirection of the yellow arrow

?Uncheck the Show Cutting Planeoption

?Move mouse cursor over finiteelements to visualise Von Misesvalues on each node.

Step 7: Change the Design and Resolve

?From the analysed results, you’ll findthat the stress is higher than the yieldstrength of steel. To correct this, youneed to modify the part

?Double click part screw on thestructure tree to activate the designworkbench?Double click sketch.3 of shaft.1and change the overall lengthvalue from 6.375 to 9 inches.

?Exit and update if you are not inAutomatic Update mode

Step 8: Reanalyse the results

?You only need to launch a newcomputation: all FEM specifications areassociative with geometry

?Double click on Finite ElementModel in the specification tree

?Click on the Compute icon torerun the compute without preview

?Check the Von Mises stressesby clicking again on the Von Misesicon

? You can check that theMaximum Von Mises stress is nowless than the yield strength of steel
