Practice exercise

00:01

This is a practice exercise video solution.

00:07

For this practice, we're going to carry on with our conveyor drive but if you had any difficulty in setting up the design,

00:13

then make sure that you do upload the supply dataset conveyor drive RTS or ready to solve.

00:20

At this point, our design is ready to solve, so we want to navigate to solve,

00:24

noting that we do have a warning about our constraints but we know in this case that it will be fine.

00:29

This can be solved on the cloud for five cloud credits or locally.

00:33

In my case, I'll be solving this on the cloud but you can solve yours locally as well as it will give you the exact same results.

00:41

Now that we have our results, let's go ahead and take a look.

00:45

Here we can see that the factor of safety is 15 which means that it's well above our targets but let's inspect some of the other results.

00:53

We can see that the Von Mises stress is 8.9 which is well below the range of our material.

01:00

And if we take a look at the first and third principles, you can see that these are all relatively low as well,

01:06

giving us quite a good impression that this bracket would work fine.

01:10

However, when we take a look at the displacement we can see that the displacement is 0.1259 mm.

01:17

This is going to be more than we want on our conveyor system.

01:21

So this is something that we need to re-evaluate either with additional geometry changes or potentially with exploring another material.

01:29

There is more that we can explore here, but for now, let's make sure that we finish our results,

01:33

and make sure that everything is saved before moving on.
