WS4.2: 2D Structural Analysis

Workshop SupplementWorkshop 4.2 - Goals• Workshop 4.2 consists of a 2 part assembly representing a pressure

cap and retaining flange (full model shown below).• We will solve it as a 2D axisymmetric model (shown on next page).

Workshop SupplementWorkshop 4.2 – Assumptions• 2D axisymmetric model assumptions:

• The retaining ring is fixed at its mounting holes.• The contact region between the parts is frictionless.• The base of the pressure cap is constrained using a compression only

support.– Note: due to the presence of the bolt holes the structure is not truly axisymmetric.

• Note : Remember, the axisymmetric assumption here is that the retaining ring is a continuous solid. Actually there are bolt holes around its circumference. For this reason, when the model was created in DesignModeler this separate line was intentionally created to provide a location to add our support.

Workshop SupplementWorkshop 4.2 – Solution• Solve the model.

• Notes on axisymmetry :• Notice that the model lies completely in +X space with the Y axis as the axis of revolution. This is

required for axisymmetry.• Axisymmetry assumes that the model is a complete 360 degree model. For this reason no constraints

in the X direction are required The portion of the pressure load acting in the +X direction is assumed toin the X direction are required. The portion of the pressure load acting in the +X direction is assumed to be offset by an equal portion in the –X direction.

• Note : Note: due to the fact that the pressure cap is constrained using frictionless contact and a compression only support, weak springs are added to prevent rigid body motion
