On the the ribbon bar, Loads panel, click c lick Force. (This has already been done in the model, so there is no requirement for you to do this.) 1. In order to apply the force in the area where the robot mounts, we must split the base plate face. The mounting plate on the robot is round, and the base plate is square. Click OK.Īdding Loads Now, we need to define the load where the robot would mount to the base. Rotate the model and select the faces that would contact the floor surface. On the ribbon bar, Constraints panel, click Fixed. Click OK to close the dialog box.Īdding Constraints Add constraints to denote mechanical and environmental conditions. Multiple instances of a component will change with one paste. Right click the other Override Material cells and click Paste. Right click the Override Material cell and click Copy. Notice that the Safety Factor column shows that Yield Strength will be used for safety analysis. For the base_plate:1 component, click the Override Material drop-down list and select Steel.

On the ribbon bar, Material panel, click Assign Materials. A new simulation is created and the browser is populated with folders.Īssign Materials 1.

Design Objective: Parametric Dimension c. In the Create New Simulation dialog box, enter the following: a. On the ribbon, Manage panel, click Create New Simulation. The Stress Analysis commands populate the ribbon.ĭefine the Simulation 1. On the Environments ribbon, click Stress Analysis. On the ribbon, click on the Environments tab. Navigate to the assembly location and open Robot Base.iam. Robot Base Structure (zip - 537Kb) Open the Assembly 1. Familiarize Familiarize yourself with the ribbon user interface.

Expected completion time: 30 min Use with: Inventor Simulation Suite 2010 or Inventor Professional 2010 We recommend that you: Complete the 3 FEA tutorials that accompany the product before doing this skill builder. The “design” goal is to minimize the mass of the structure while keeping displacement and stress within allowable values taking into account safety criteria and profile size changes c hanges. In this Skill Builder, you use the parametric variations provided in Stress Analysis to optimize an assembly model.
