RD-1010 Thermal Stress Analysis of a Coffee Pot Lid.pdf

14-2-10 HyperWorks Tutorials Hype rW orks Tutoria ls RD-1010: Thermal Stress Analysis of a Coffee Pot Lid In this tutorial, an ex isting finite element model of a plastic coffee pot lid will be used to demonstrate how to apply constraints and perform a RA DIOSS finite element analysis . HyperView post-processing tools are used to determine deformation and stress characteristics of the lid. The following exercises are included: • Retrieve the HyperMesh database file • Set up the problem in HyperMesh • Apply loads and boundary conditions to the model • Submit the job • View the results in HyperView Retrieve the HyperMesh Database File Step 1: Launch HyperMesh and set the RADIOSS (Bulk Data) User Profile 1. Launch HyperMesh. A Use r Profiles Graphic User Interface (GUI) will appear. 2. Select RA DIOSS in the Use r Profile dialog. 3. From the extended list , select BulkData. 4. Click OK. This loads the User Profile. These profiles include the appropriate template, macro menu, and import reader, paring down the functionality of HyperMesh to what is relevant for generating models in Bulk Data Format for RA DIOSS and OptiStruct . Use r Profiles can also be accessed from the Prefe re nces pull-down menu on the toolbar. Step 2: Open the File coffee_lid.hm 1. From the File menu, select Open M odel. An Ope n Mode l browser window opens . 2. Select the coffee_lid.hm file, located in the HyperWorks installation directory under install_directory/tutorials/hwsolvers/radioss/. 3. Click Open. The coffee_lid.hm database is loaded into the current HyperMesh session, re
