2A. Stress Analysis Lathe Cutter
Description
• Solve a 3-D stress analysis of the lathe cutter model below. Review the results in the general postprocessor by:
1) plotting the displacements2) listing reaction forces3) plotting the von Mises stress4) animating the von Mises stress
Resolve the solution using a different set of constraints and compare the stress results to the first solution.
