Problem Description Create beam element model of a frame structure that is used to support an engine. The first step is to create geometric curves that represent both the frame and rubber frame supports. Then, the curves are meshed with two noded beam elements. The model loading consists of three parts; they are 1) dead load on the frame due to the weight of the engine, 2) maximum amplitude of the operating load, and 3) gravity load on the frame. The model is constrained at the bottom of the rubber supports. The frame is of Aluminum. A linear static analysis is performed, and the deformed shape and stress distribution are viewed. Suggested Exercise Steps Create new database frame.db. Create geometry of the aluminum frame using curves. Create geometry for the rubber supports using curves. Create 1D bar elements for the model by meshing the curves. Connect the 1D bar elements together at geometry interfaces. Create load due to the static weight(dead load) of the engine on the aluminum frame. Create static load due to the operating engine. The load is the maximum amplitude of the dynamic engine operating loads. Create the static loading due to gravity acting on the aluminum frame. Constrain the bottom of the rubber frame supports. Create aluminum and rubber material property sets. Define element properties for the aluminum frame. Define element properties for rubber frame support. Step 1. Create a Database Step 9. Create Constraints for the Frame Support (Cont.) Pick the Point or Vertex icon. Change view to Bottom view. Select all points at bottom of frame support, as shown in the figure. Add. OK. Apply. Step 9. Create Constraints for the Frame Support (Cont.) Select on Iso3 view from the tool bar. Your model should look like the following. Reset Graphics. Step 10. Defining Material (Cont.) Create different sets of rubber material. With each set there will be different Elastic Modulus to provide different stiffnes
