WORKSHOP 5 -- CRANK ANALYSIS USING VIRTUAL PARTS

http://www.cadfamily.com/a/CAD_CAID/CATIA/WORKSHOP-5----CRANK-ANALYSIS-USING-VIRTUAL-PARTS_3075.html

Suggested Exercise Steps
Open the existing CATIA part in the Part Design workbench.
Apply aluminum material properties to the part.
Create a new CATIA analysis document (.CATAnalysis).
Mesh globally with linear elements.
Apply a clamp restraint.
Simulate the pedal using a Smooth Virtual Part.
Apply a force to the Smooth Virtual Part.
Compute the initial analysis.
Visualize “hot spots” in the initial results.
Change mesh to parabolic and add local meshing.
Compute the more precise analysis.
Search for extrema points (max Von Mises, min precision).
Check local precision using adaptivity boxes.
Visualize final results (translations relative to user axis).
Save the analysis document.
