75 Case Studies with ANSYS Workbench Problem Description: A base stand assembly includes a base, a holder, and a pin, as shown in the following fgure. The stand assembly is made of structural steel. Assume a no-separation condition for all contact regions. Determine the deformation and von Mises stress distributions of the assembly under the given load and boundary conditions Material: Structural steel (E= 200 GPa, v= 03) Boundary condition: ‘The bottom faces of the leg base are fixed. ‘A dovwrerand force of 1 Nis applied to the holders top face Geomenry constuction ‘Tebottom of the Inib bare i 35 mum above the ground level ‘Te holder is 36 mam tll, 18 mm of which isin contact with the In bare Sketchof'thelogbace(extnde Shetchof'he nb bace (exude Shetchof the pin extmde ‘Sanmonboth sider) 35 mm onone side) 15 mmonboth sides)Three-Dimenstonal Blasticity Solution ‘To solve the problem with ANSYS Workbench, we employ the following steps Step 1: Start an ANSYS Workbench Project Launch ANSYS Workbench and save the blank project as “Assembly why)” Step 2: Create a Static Structural (ANSYS) Analysis System Drag the Static Structural (ANSYS) icon from the Analy.ts Systems Toolbox window and drop it inside the highlighted green rectangle in the Project Schematic win- dow to create a standalone static structural analysis system. ‘Step3: Launch the DesignModeler Program Double-click the Geometry cell to launch DesignModeler, and select “Milimeter” in the Units pop-up window. ‘Step 4: Create the Base Geometry Click on the Sketching tab, Select the Draw toolbox and then Line and Arc by Center.
