ENGT5151 Advance Cad And Finite Element Analysis

This assignment contributes 100% of the marks for this module. Carry out all task detailed in this document. The assignment is broken down into five key tasks. The first two tasks will look at developing your basic CAD skills. The final 3 tasks of the assignment will look at using FEA to design and develop a component

2 Learning outcomes

Students will be able to use standard CAE software to solve simple practical problems. In doing so the following AHEP31

learning outcomes will be achieved:

• D2 - Investigate and define the problem, identifying any constraints including environmental and sustainability limitations; ethical, health, safety, security and risk issues; intellectual property; codes of practice and standards

• D4 - Apply advanced problem-solving skills, technical knowledge and understanding, to establish rigorous and creative solutions that are fit for purpose for all aspects of the problem including production, operation, maintenance and disposal

• D5 - Plan and manage the design process, including cost drivers, and evaluate outcomes

• D7m - Demonstrate wide knowledge and comprehensive understanding of design processes and methodologies and the ability to apply and adapt them in unfamiliar situations

• D8m - Demonstrate the ability to generate an innovative design for products, systems, components or processes to fulfil new needs

• SM1m - A comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the scientific principles and methodology necessary to underpin their education in their engineering discipline, and an understanding and know-how of the scientific principles of related disciplines, to enable appreciation of the scientific and engineering context, and to support their understanding of relevant historical, current and future developments and technologies

• SM3m - Ability to apply and integrate knowledge and understanding of other engineering disciplines to support study of their own engineering discipline and the ability to evaluate them critically and to apply them effectively

• EL4 - Understanding of the requirement for engineering activities to promote sustainable development and ability to apply quantitative techniques where appropriate

• P1 - Understanding of contexts in which engineering knowledge can be applied (eg operations and management, application and development of technology, etc)

• P2m - Knowledge of characteristics of particular equipment, processes or products, with extensive knowledge and understanding of a wide range of engineering materials and components

• P6 - Understanding of appropriate codes of practice and industry standards

Leaning outcomes: SM1m, SM3m, EL4, P1, P2m & P9m are assessed in this task.

Your task is to:

Use ANSYS workbench to develop a meshed model of your bike frame. You must investigate the structural integrity of your bike frame. Using the loading conditions provided in Appendix D, you should analyse the performance of your bike frame. Using the data generated from the analysis informed changes should be made to your design to limit stress, reduce mas, increase stiffness, etc…. Material selection should also be investigated. It isimportant to make your frame as environmentally suitable as possible. Show screenshots of the meshed component and the initial boundary conditions used during the analysis. You should produce a report that results and design changes made as a result of the FEA analysis.
