Introduction Autodesk Inventor Professional Stress Analysis was used to simulate the behavior of a mechanical part under structural loading conditions. ANSYS technology generated the results presented in this report.

Do not accept or reject a design based solely on the data presented in this report. Evaluate designs by considering this information in conjunction with experimental test data and the practical experience of design engineers and analysts. A quality approach to engineering design usually mandates physical testing as the final means of validating structural integrity to a measured precision.

Material Data The following material behavior assumptions apply to this analysis:

Linear - stress is directly proportional to strain. Constant - all properties temperature-independent. Homogeneous - properties do not change throughout the volume of the part. Isotropic - material properties are identical in all directions.

Loads and Constraints The following loads and constraints act on specific regions of the part. Regions were defined by selecting surfaces, cylinders, edges or vertices.

Note: vector data corresponds to global X, Y and Z components.

Results The table below lists all structural results generated by the analysis. The following section provides figures showing each result contoured over the surface of the part.

Safety factor was calculated by using the maximum equivalent stress failure theory for ductile materials. The stress limit was specified by the tensile yield strength of the material.

Analysis of lug_analysis_inventor[1].ipt

Introduction Autodesk Inventor Professional Stress Analysis was used to simulate the behavior of a mechanical part under structural loading conditions. ANSYS technology generated the results presented in this report.

Do not accept or reject a design based solely on the data presented in this report. Evaluate designs by considering this information in conjunction with experimental test data and the practical experience of design engineers and analysts. A quality approach to engineering design usually mandates physical testing as the final means of validating structural integrity to a measured precision.

Additional information on AIP Stress Analysis and ANSYS products for Autodesk Inventor is available at http://www.ansys.com/autodesk.

Geometry and Mesh The Relevance setting listed below controlled the fineness of the mesh used in this analysis. For reference, a setting of -100 produces a coarse mesh, fast solutions and results that may include significant uncertainty. A setting of +100 generates a fine mesh, longer solution times and the least uncertainty in results. Zero is the default Relevance setting.

Bounding box dimensions represent lengths in the global X, Y and Z directions.

Material Data The following material behavior assumptions apply to this analysis:

Linear - stress is directly proportional to strain. Constant - all properties temperature-independent. Homogeneous - properties do not change throughout the volume of the part. Isotropic - material properties are identical in all directions.

Loads and Constraints The following loads and constraints act on specific regions of the part. Regions were defined by selecting surfaces, cylinders, edges or vertices.

Note: vector data corresponds to global X, Y and Z components.

Results The table below lists all structural results generated by the analysis. The following section provides figures showing each result contoured over the surface of the part.

Safety factor was calculated by using the maximum equivalent stress failure theory for ductile materials. The stress limit was specified by the tensile yield strength of the material.
