Tutorial 3 - Fry Basket
HIGHLIGHTS: solid-modeling skills; surface-modeling skills; design with a Master Model; structural analysis; design optimization
Tutorial 3A - Modeling
Build a Master Model of the basket handle
Create the upper & the lower parts from the Master Model
Build the mechanical features on the both parts
Get the both parts auto-updated after modifying the outlook of the master model
Tutorial 3B - Modeling
Build the metal arm
Build the basket
Add material texture onto all components
Assemble components
Tutorial 3C - Analysis
Simplify the model for analysis
Create Meshes onto two components and create a connector between them
Create boundary conditions & define properties
Analyze displacements & stresses
Tutorial 3D - Analysis (By Nastran)
Repeat the steps in Tutorial 3C with the use of Nastran
Tutorial 3E - Design Optimization
Create a user parameter “volume”
Run optimization to get the minimum volume of the metal arm with the smallest part deformation
