    The document describes a lab session assignment to analyze a 3D bracket structure using finite element analysis software. Students are asked to: 1) Use Mechanical APDL to plot deformed shape and von Mises stress distribution. 2) Repeat the analysis in ANSYS Workbench, outlining the geometry creation and applying boundary conditions. 3) Improve the mesh quality and include details on nodes and elements used. Compare results to Mechanical APDL. Students must submit a 6 page maximum report in bullet points addressing the tasks. Figures are in an appendix. Work will be graded on problem description, task completion, presentation, and writing clarity. Plagiarism will result in a zero score.

    Lab Session 15: Coursework - Determine the nodal

    deflection and Von Mises stress distribution of a 3D


    structural member using Mechanical APDL and ANSYS
    Workbench.
    Problem Description:
    A three dimensional structural problem is tackled. The problem is based on Example 13.3 Saeed
    Muavini Finite Element Analysis, 3rd Edition.
    A bracket as shown in the figure below is subjected to distributed load of 50 lb/in2 on the top
    surface. It is fixed around the hole surfaces. The bracket is made of steel, with a modulus of
    elasticity of 29x106lb/in2 and v= 0.3.

    Students are to complete the tasks below and present their answers in a strictly six page report.
    The report is to be written as concise bullet point sentences for each of the tasks. Note figures are
    to be attached in an appendix and clearly referenced from within the report. Figures are not
    included in the page limit. Use the standard MS-Word page layout and font. . This coursework
    carries 40% of the total marks (i.e. 20/50) for this Lab. DO NOT TRY TO COPY AS
    PLAGARISM WILL RESULT IN STRAIGHT ZERO 0.
    Task 1:
    Plot the deformed shape and also plot the von Mises stress distribution using Mechanical APDL.
    You are allowed to use your book for this task.
    Task 2.1:
    Repeat Task 1 using ANSYS Workbench. You must outline the steps involved in making the
    geometry and applying boundary conditions.
    Task 2.2:
    What steps were taken to improve the Mesh quality? Show the Mesh used in your final analysis
    (Also state the number of nodes and elements used). What influence does the mesh has on
    results?
    Task 2.3:
    Plot the deformed shape and also plot the von Mises stress distribution using ANSYS
    Workbench. Compare these plots with the results obtained from Mechanical APDL.
