Activity: Apply a body temperature load

Open the file FE_Pump_Casing.par.

Simulation models are delivered in the \Program Files\UDS\QY CAD 2022\Training\Simulation folder.

Create a simulation study:

1. Select Simulation tab→Study group→New Study.

   Note that the pump casing material is already defined.

   

2. Choose the Linear Static study type and Tetrahedral mesh type.

3. Click OK.

Define a temperature load:

1. Select Simulation tab→Body Loads group→Body Temperature .

2. Type a temperature value of 148 C.

   This is equivalent to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

   

3. Right-click in space to accept the temperature load. Click in space to finish.



You can see the Simulation pane entry for this load.

Apply fixed constraints:

1. Select Simulation tab→Constraints group→Fixed.

   

2. On the Constraints command bar, change the Selection Type to Feature.

   

3. Within PathFinder, in the Features collector, click Protrusion 4, Protrusion 5 and Protrusion 6 to select all faces of the mounting plate.

   

   

4. Right-click to accept and click to finish.

Mesh and solve the study:

1. In the Simulation pane, turn off constraints and loads.

   

2. Select the Mesh command. Choose Mesh & Solve.

   

   After a few moments, the part is meshed and solved.

View the results:

1. In the Simulation Results environment, select Home tab→Deformation group→Actual.

   

   

2. Rotate and zoom to view the areas of highest stress.

   

On the ribbon, click Close Simulation Results.

On the Quick Access toolbar click Save, and then click the X button on the document tab to close this file.
