Assembly Contact
Workbench-Mechanical
Structural Nonlinearities
Goal:
In this workshop our goal is to investigate the behavior of the pipe clamp
assembly (Pipe_clamp.x_t) shown here. Specifically we wish to
determine the crushing stress and deformation in a copper pipe section
when the bolt in the clamp is torqued down.
We will assume the material used for the pipe is a copper alloy while all other
parts are steel.
It is assumed the clamp is torqued to 1000 N when placed in service.
Well assume the coefficient of friction between the clamp and pipe is 0.4.
The other contact regions will be treated as either bonded or no separation
as shown in the accompanying figures.

Similarly, the behavior of the contact region can be view by highlighting the
contact result objects. Again the use of scoped results allows a more
intuitive plot of the quantity displayed.
