Stress analysis of moving assembly

[Anonymous]

Just a simple question on the workings of IV. If i put a motion constraint, say a pipe tangential to the inside of a larger one, and make that an assembly, then create a new assembly of a bracket that the larger pipe welds to, will the inner pipes movelment still be available for stress? I know that when you bring an assembly into another one it becomes a rigid single object, but is it the same as far as stress goes or does the alalysis run deep into the sub assemblies and acquire their constraints?

Thanks in advance

If I follow your problem description for Motion Loads you need Environments>Dynamic Simulation - from this export the Motion Load to FEA for the part of interest.

Is it possible to select a welded assembly instead of a part when we want to transfer dynamic solution to FEA?

Derive the Welded Assembly into a single part.

Now it is a welded assembly. How could I derive it to a single part?

I found it, thank you.

New problem

I derived it to a single part and made dynamic simulation. Then exported to FEA, but in FEA it couldn't make the mesh. I think the problem is with the weldments in the part. How could I solve this?

I have attached the part and a zip file which is made by pack & go.

Which assembly in your zip folder is the top level assembly file?

Sorry,

I should mention it.

Test\Workspaces\Workspace\_S-Ritningar\S40-Stand accessories\S401

The file name is S40118-02A - test2

Thanks

To aid in meshing - the first thing I would do is Edit the derived Component and remove boundaries (seams).

If I do a Section view through the pins - I see that there are gaps.

(This might be realistic, but might also cause issues in creating the mesh.)

I would go back and edit the part files to remove the gaps. (Be sure to work on a back-up set of files, not the originals.)  (These gaps could also be removed only in the Derived Component with Delete Face - Void option, but this starts to get into expert level experience.  (But this is probably how I would remove the gaps.))
