2. Introduction

The ANSYS CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) software program was used in conjunction with 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) solid geometry to simulate the behavior of mechanical bodies under thermal/structural loading conditions. ANSYS automated FEA (Finite Element Analysis) technologies from ANSYS, Inc. to generate the results listed in this report.

Each scenario presented below represents one complete engineering simulation. The definition of a simulation includes known factors about a design such as material properties per body, contact behavior between bodies (in an assembly), and types and magnitudes of loading conditions. The results of a simulation provide insight into how the bodies may perform and how the design might be improved. Multiple scenarios allow comparison of results given different loading conditions, materials or geometric configurations.

Convergence and alert criteria may be defined for any of the results and can serve as guides for evaluating the quality of calculated results and the acceptability of values in the context of known design requirements.

Solution history provides a means of assessing the quality of results by examining how values change during successive iterations of solution refinement. Convergence criteria sets a specific limit on the allowable change in a result between iterations. A result meeting this criteria is said to be "converged".
Alert criteria define "allowable" ranges for result values. Alert ranges typically represent known aspects of the design specification.

The discussions below follow the organization of information in the ANSYS "Explorer" user interface. Each scenario corresponds to a unique branch in the Explorer "Outline". Names emphasized in "double quotes" match preferences set in the user interface.

All values are presented in the "SI Metric (m, kg, Pa, °C, s)" unit system.

Notice

Do not accept or reject a design based solely on the data presented in this report. Evaluate designs by considering this information in conjunction with experimental test data and the practical experience of design engineers and analysts. A quality approach to engineering design usually mandates physical testing as the final means of validating structural integrity to a measured precision.

A6. Glossary

Alert Criteria: Alerts cause ANSYS to flag results that exceed minimum or maximum allowable values.
Bonded Contact: Prevents contacting regions on selected faces from sliding or separating. "Glues" the faces together.
Bounding Box: A three-dimensional cube aligned to the global x, y and z axes that exactly contains a body or assembly.
Convergence Tracking: Convergence tracking causes ANSYS to iteratively refine the solution until the criteria for allowable change in the result is met or the maximum number of loops is exhausted.
Frictionless Contact: Models standard nonlinear unilateral contact. Allows free sliding and gaps to form at contact interface.
No Separation: Prevents contacting regions on selected faces from separating. Frictionless sliding may occur.
Relevance: Defines the acceptable accuracy for a body and valuates the importance of bodies in an assembly. The relevance range extends from -100 to +100, where -100 implies maximum software speed and +100 implies maximum accuracy in calculating results.
Rough Contact: Nonlinear contact that allows gaps to form at contact interface but does not allow sliding (infinite coefficient of friction).
Scope: Filters a result to selected geometry. If combined with convergence tracking, focuses refinement activity on the selected geometry.
Visible: A user preference that controls the visibility of bodies in figures in this report. Unlike suppressed bodies, invisible bodies are fully considered in the calculation of results.
