Linear BucklingI-DEAS Tutorials: Simulation Projects
This tutorial shows how to compute linear buckling loadfactors. Youll analyze a part from an automobile jack forbuckling.
Learn how to:
perform a buckling analysis display buckling results

2Before you begin...
Prerequisite tutorials:
Getting Started (I-DEAS Multimedia Training)or
Introducing the I-DEAS InterfaceQuick Tips to Using I-DEASandCreating Parts
Extruding and Revolving Features Introduction to Simulation Free Meshing Boundary Condition Sets Boundary Condition Surface Loads Boundary Condition Symmetry Displaying Results
Recommended tutorials:
Parameter Studies

3Setup 1 of 5
If you didnt start I-DEAS with a new (empty) model file,open a new one now and give it a unique name.
FileOpen
Open Model File form
Model File name: any unique name OK
Make sure youre in the following application and task: Simulation Master Modeler
Set your units to mm. Options
Units

5Setup 3 of 5
Save your model file. File
SaveWarning! If you are prompted by I-DEAS to save your model file,respond:
NoSave only when the tutorial instructions tell you tonotwhen I-DEAS prompts for a save.Why:If you make a mistake at any time between saves andcant recover, you can reopen your model file to the lastsave and start over from that point.Hint To reopen your model file to the previous save, pressControl-Z.

What: Delete three part faces to create an open channelsection.Hint
Why:Thin-shell elements will be meshed on theremaining faces. Deleting the three faces makes themeshing process easier. The face delete operations arerecorded in the part history if you need to modify the partlater.

Things to notice The buckling load factor is listed in the header of theplot. A value of 2.5 means that the structure wouldbuckle if the applied load was multiplied by (2.5).

What: Display the other buckling shapes.Hint
Close (Visualizer)Things to notice Buckling shapes are similar to dynamic mode shapes.This is the shape the structure would begin to buckle.Because this is a linear analysis, nothing can be statedabout what happens after the structure begins to buckle.Recovery Point

Buckling load factors may be sensitive to thickness orpart dimensions which may vary due to manufacturingtolerances. Performing a parameter study is an effectiveway to examine buckling sensitivity to designparameters.
If you havent completed the tutorial ParameterStudies, you may want to review it before tryingthe following steps.
What: Perform a parameter study to show how thebuckling factors change as the thickness is decreased.Hint

Things to notice The Y axis is the buckling load factor for values ofthickness on the X axis. A relatively small decrease inthickness can cause the buckling load factor to dropbelow 1. This may be a factor in defining the allowabletolerance on the sheet metal thickness.

Things to notice Buckling load factors decrease as the height isincreased from its initial value because theres lessstiffening effect from the bend. Also, the way the problemis modeled, the center of the load moves down as theside wall dimension increases.

Things to notice When the dimension is decreased below a certain point,the lowest buckling load factor suddenly decreases. Thisis because the lowest buckling mode is then a differentshape, as shown on the next page.
