Time Analysis on a Beam Model with Constant Acceleration

The problem of beam oscillation under the influence of acceleration is solved . The considered period of time is 5 s. The beam model is fixed (embedment), acceleration (0.01 m / s 2 ) is applied at the ends.

Geometry creation

1.Create a straight line with a length of 100 .

On the command panel, select the mode for creating volume geometry (Mode — Geometry, Object — Curve, Action — Create).

From the list of geometric primitives, select Line. Creatе, using Position and direction. Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Meshing

1.On the command panel, select the curve meshing mode (Mode — Mesh, Object — On curves, Action — Meshing).

Specify the mesh refinement degree:

Click Apply.

Click Build Mesh.

Specifying the material and block properties

1. On the command panel, select the mode for setting material properties (Mode - Material, Entity - Materials Management.

Drag "Carbon steel" from the "Imported Material "   column to the "Material"window.

Click Apply.

 

2.Create a block of one material type.

On the command panel, select the mode for setting material properties (Mode — Blocks, Object — Block,Action — Add entity to the block ).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

 

3. Set the block parameters.

On the command panel, select the mode for setting material properties (Mode - Blocks, Entity - Block, Action - Block properties/parameters).

Set the following parameters:

Click Set beam properties. From the dropdown list Profile section select I-beam. Click Apply.

Close the window Set beam properties.Click Apply.

Setting boundary conditions

1.Pin top 2 in all directions.

On the command panel, select Mode — Boundary Conditions, Entity — Displacement, Action — Create.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

 

2.Set the acceleration.

On the command panel, select Mode — Boundary Conditions, Entity — Acceleration, Action — Create.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Starting calculation

Set the type of problem you want to solve. On the command panel, select the calculation settings mode Mode — Calculation Settings, Calculation Settings - Time Analysis - General).

Set the following calculation parameters:

Click Apply.

Click Start calculation.

Results analysis

1. Open the file with the results. There are three ways to do that:

The Fidesys Viewer window will appear, in which you can view the calculation results.

When switching to Fidesys Viewer, the result may not be visible, in order to see it you need to rotate the coordinate axes.

Connect the filter Deform by Vector (Menu - Filters - Index - Strain by Vector). Or use the corresponding command panel button :

In the Step window, set 0 - the initial view of the model.

t=0

By switching steps from 1 to 5, you can view the deformed view of the model at all steps.

t=1

t=2

t=3

t=4

t=5

Using the console interface

Geometry creating, meshing, setting boundary conditions and materials can be performed using the console interface. Below is the program code that allows you to perform the steps of the above manual, you only need to specify the full path and name of the saved file.
