PRACTICAL -1

Select a suitable product and identify the design process taking the controlling parameters.

There are mainly six steps in design validation process to identify the design process and it’s
controlling parameters. Following are these steps.

1. Defining the Geometry (Modeling) – Geometry is 3D based model created with the help of 3D
engineering design software which is solid by nature. It could be Solid single part model or
assembly design.

2. Assigning the Material Properties to Model – 2nd step is to

Assign the material to the model with their physical, chemical
and mechanical properties like poison’s ratio, shear modulus,
Mass density, yield strength of the material etc.

3. Creating a Study – In Design Analysis using Software we must understand that the
kind of study we require to analyze the product. Software provide various study
environment e.g. Static Structural, Fluid Flow Analysis and so on. For this practical
we must select the Static Structural analysis of an object.

4. Defining the Operating Environment –

Operating environment of the Model is whether
the model is hanged or fixed at one place, what
type of force needed to put on the model and
required units and Factor of Safety. In our model
we fixed our geometry at one side and put the
force on another side of the object to find the
maximum stress produce under the given load.

5. Processing – After defining the operating environment for processing the mathematical
prediction of the model and how the model will behave, for processing model is broke into small
meshes, this kind of processing is generally named as finite element analysis. After creating the
meshes finally we move to Run the analysis to validate the result based on above followed steps.

6. Reviewing the Result- Reviewing the Result allows to find out the Stress, Strain and total
elongation of the product which shows you that product is ready for production of need to change
or modify it further to find the best solution so that product will not fail under specified load.

To select a suitable material for the rim of a car/Justify the existing material.

1. Create a 3D product design of a Car Rim according to the given dimension in practical
laboratory.

2. Select the Material of 3D RIM as alloy steel.

3. Select the bolted hole and make it fixed for

the rest of static structural analysis.

4. Select the rim face and put load at 1000 N

including gravity of 9.81 m/s2

5. Create mesh size select the normal mesh at

create mesh properties tab.

6. After the completions of five steps of design analysis click

to run and review the result and make stress, strain and total
elongation of the product.
