Lab 1: Introduction to FEA
Instructions:
In SolidWorks, create the solid model of the rectangular beam
.
•
Transfer the solid model to SolidWorks Simulation.
•
Apply “Alloy Steel” as the material.
•
Apply the loading and boundary conditions (LCs and BCs)
.
•
Mesh and run the analysis.
•
Once the analysis is performed, answer the following questions.
1.
Provide a screenshot of the beam in wireframe view (isometric view) in SWS.
Ensure that the
loading conditions, boundary conditions, and origin are clearly indicated in the screenshot.
2.
Provide a screenshot of the full beam (isometric view) showing the results of the Z-stress (stress
in the Z orientation, σ
zz
) resulting from the FEA.

3.
Provide a screenshot of the full beam (isometric view) showing the results of the Y-displacement
(U
y
) resulting from the FEA.
4.
Determine the Z-stress and Y-displacement (on the tensile side of the beam) down the length of
the beam at the following locations using the Probe Tool. An image
including the “0” point
location on the beam should also be included.

5.
Perform calculations in a computer program of choice (Excel, Matlab, Mathcad, etc.) to generate
(a) a plot of the Z-stress as a function of distance along the beam, and (b) a plot of the Y-
displacement as a function of distance along the beam. Include values obtained from both
SolidWorks and your calculations in the graphs. Place the graphs below and include a screenshot
of the calculations performed.

For my assigment, I was asked to design a electric motorbike that has a peformance equal to Honda CBR1000 Fireblade which has a petrol engine. A part of the the assignment is to calculate " An estimate of maximum Power your new motor will need to generate to match the Honda’s performance." I can make the assumption, apart from changing the motor, everything else is going to stay the same so the fairing,the rider and etc they're gonna be the same for the two bikes. So can you please tell me how I can calculate that which information would I need ?

Problem 3: A small gearing system in your brand-new 3D printer fails as you were printing,
leading to an overload in the motor and a fire in your home. The fire spreads, burning half of
Everglades National Park in the worst environmental disaster in US history.
The printer company blames you! Stating that you must have been misusing the printer some-
how. Use your engineering knowledge to "show those jerks you mean business!"
You investigate and find a serial number on the gears and type it into Google, finding the
company that manufactures the gears. Their website provides some info that this series of gear is
made from AISI 4340 steel and the yield strength is 125 kpsi.
Assuming each gear tooth acts as a small cantilever, prove to the 3D printer company that they
are liable for the fire.

Your capstone design team is prototyping (e.g. you are building a model to test not a final product) a
"fire identification drone. The final product is intended to fly over rugged wilderness areas and look
for small fires that should be monitored and potentially fought or contained. It is NOT intended to be
used in large active fires. Your subteam's job is to design and build the support frame for the drone
(e.g. the structure where the motors, propellers, guidance electronics and GPS, heat sensors, radio
receiver and transmitter, etc. are attached) for the prototype. You have access to a machine shop
with saws, lathes (for removing material by rotating it and using a cutting tool), drills and a facility
with 3-D printers that can print a variety of plastics using fused deposition modeling (this is the
technique where a polymer filament is melted and forced through a nozzle to build a structure layer
by layer). You will be testing in a summer/fall timeframe so you expect temperatures…
