Dynamic Simulation to Stress Analysis Help

[egrigg]

Hi all,

I am having problems creating a Stress Analysis Report from the Dynamic Simulation on this assembly.

My goal is to show the cam shaft rotating at 3500 rpm, and the stress it creates. I am looking to show the stress concentrations at the fasteners as well as the rotating components, the cam will have a torque of 15 ft lb, with a counter torque of the compressor equal to that.

Can anyone suggest the best workflow, I have been working through Wasim Younis' Book for Inventor 2014, but seem to be coming up short in its application.

Thanks in advance.

I am using Inventor Professional 2014.

Select a time step and a the parts for export to FEA.  (you might first concentrate on only one part)
Post screen shot of what you see next.

Thanks, JD I will do that.

One Issue I am finding is that our normal assembly constraints really don't translate well if at all!, into dynamic simulation, I am also seeing the new joint constraints being inconsistant as well.

Lots of work to do, I will update you soon, thanks again.

When you know you are going to be using DS, you have to rethink the entire process of how you use assembly constraints if you want them to convert to appropriate DS Joints, or do the Joints manually in DS or a combination of automatic/manual.
