CAE Assignment 3

(B-Rep, Feature based modeling and FEM)

Instructions for the assignment
1. All the questions must be hand written on A4 sheet paper.
2. Scan and conert to pdf and upload it as single file to the folder provided.
3. Presentation of the assignment has weightage.
01  a)Verify Euler equation for the following solid 
 

 
b) Write the winged edge data structure for a model created in B-rep environment. The model is a
pentagon base pyramid of base edge size 40 mm and height 60 mm

02  Identify and list differnt features (sketched features, dress up features, composite features) that may
appear in the model tree for competing the model in the figures 1 and 2

       
Figure 1 Figure 2

03  a) Illustrate with the practical application for 1D element, 2D element and 3D element structural and
thermal finite element analysis. (Problem statement, type of element, degree of freedom, type of
analysis, end results and software environment used).
b) For the bar assemblage shown in figure, using direct stiffness method derive the element stiffness
matrix, global stiffness matrix and determine the nodal displacements, stresses in each element and
reactions. Indicate the steps as per general FEM procedure. (Data: E = 190GPa, Cross sectional Area of
element 1 = 4 x 10-4 m2 Cross sectional Area of element 2 = 2 x 10-4 m2, spring stiffness =
4000kN/m)
