Disc Rotation (Angular Velocity)

We consider the problem of a disk rotation around its axis with a constant angular velocity 1 с-1.

Geometry creation

1. Create the first circle with radius 100.

On the command bar, select the module for constructing surface geometry (Mode — Geometry, Entity — Surface, Action — Create).

 

Select Circle in the list of geometric elements.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

2. Create the second circle with radius 170.

On the command bar, select the module for constructing surface geometry (Mode — Geometry, Entity — Surface, Action — Create).

Select Circle in the list of geometric elements.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

3. Subtract the first circle from the second one.

On the command bar, select the module for constructing surface geometry (Mode - Geometry, Entity - Surface, Action - Boolean).

Select Subtract in the list of operations.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

4. Create volume using surface sweep.

On the command bar, select the module for constructing volume geometry (Mode — Geometry, Entity — Volume, Action — Create).

Select Sweep from the list of geometric primitives.

Click Apply.

Meshing

1. On the command bar, select the volume mesh module (Mode — Mesh, Entity — Volume, Action — Intervals).

Specify the degree of mesh refinement:

Click Apply Size.

Click Mesh.

 

Setting material and block properties

1. In the command bar, select the module for specifying material properties (Mode — Material, Entity — Materials Management).

Drag "Steel" from the "Imported Material "column to the "Material" window.

Click Apply.

Close the Material management window.

2. Create a block.

On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode — Blocks, Entity — Block, Action — Add).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

3. Set block parameters.

On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode — Blocks, Entity — Block, Action — Block properties/parameters).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Setting boundary conditions

1.  Anchor the model along the Y axis.

On the command panel, select the boundary conditions module  (Mode Boundary Conditions, Entity — Displacement, Action — Create).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

2. Set angular velocity.

On the command panel, select the boundary conditions module (Mode — Boundary Conditions, Entity — Angular Velocity, Action — Create).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Starting calculation

1. Set the type of the problem to be solved.

On the command bar, select the calculation settings module (Mode — Calculation Settings, Calculation Settings — Static, Static — General).

Select:

Click Apply.

Click Start Calculation.

2. In the window that appears, select the directory in which the result will be saved, and enter the file name.

3. In the case of a successful calculation, the console displays the message: Calculation finished successfully at "date" "time".

Results analysis

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

2. For postprocessor analysis go to the FidesysViewer window.

3. On the top panel, select the calculation result data to display. From the first drop-down list select Stress, from the second – Mises, from the third – Surface With Edges.

 

Using Console Interface

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