Review simulation results.
00:05
After completing this video, you'll be able to
00:07
load simulation results probe a simulation
00:10
result and generate a simulation report
00:15
in fusion 3 60.
00:16
Let's get started with the supply data set static stress review dot F 3D.
00:20
You can also carry on with your file from the previous video.
00:24
When we load a simulation study, the simulation data is stored on the cloud.
00:28
So once you upload static stress review dot F 3D,
00:32
you will need to go through and solve it.
00:34
Once it's solved, you will be able to see and display the simulation results.
00:40
Once the simulation results have displayed,
00:42
you'll see the results details in the upper right hand corner.
00:45
This will let you know if your actual minimum factor of safety is met.
00:49
You can take a look at the targets and you can
00:51
also determine whether or not the deformation scale is set to unformed
00:56
or if it's adjusted.
00:59
Sometimes seeing a static stress simulation in a
01:01
deformed mode can be a little disconcerting.
01:05
But in this case,
01:06
let's go ahead and use our results tools to animate and just
01:09
take a look at the results in this over deformed scale.
01:14
Everything looks pretty exaggerated. But once we go back to an unformed scale
01:19
or if we go to our actual deformation, you can see there's really no change.
01:23
The deformation amounts are fairly minimal in this design.
01:26
One thing that we do want to take a look at is the 90
01:30
the 45 degree load cases,
01:32
we want to identify the areas of maximum stress.
01:35
And we can see here that the maximum on missus stress
01:38
in the 90 degrees is located on the inside of that cylinder
01:41
and the maximum stress for the 45 degrees is located on the sharp corner.
01:47
The sharp corners are oftentimes misleading because sharp corners are stress
01:51
risers and we remove the round filets from this design,
01:54
which means that we're having localized stress in those areas.
01:58
Another important consideration is to display the
02:00
mesh and note that the mesh element size
02:03
in the lower portions where we have our pin constraints are much larger
02:07
and the mesh element sizes inside of the cylindrical portion are much smaller.
02:11
This is going to happen by default based on
02:14
where loads are applied and where constraints are applied.
02:17
We can also use the color bar on the right hand side
02:20
and we can drag this up to identify those areas of higher stress concentration.
02:25
We can see here that we can minimize this and
02:28
take a look at areas that are a potential concern
02:31
and maybe update or change elements of our design
02:35
some other things that we want to take a look at
02:37
are some inspection tools such as creating a point pro.
02:40
If we want to find out what the maximum stress is on this corner,
02:44
even though it's not the highest point on the current design,
02:47
we can use point probes,
02:49
we can say, OK, and we can leave this point probe on the screen.
02:52
This helps us identify that the maximum stress in this area is close to 38 MP A
02:58
while in this area, it's around 42.
03:01
So we can see the differences there noting that adding
03:04
a filet to this corner will certainly help this.
03:07
We can also take a look at other options like safety factor, displacement
03:12
and reaction forces.
03:14
When we take a look at displacement, it's important to consider the scale.
03:17
Again,
03:17
we're using actual deformation and we can
03:19
see the maximum deformation is 0.016 millimeters.
03:23
So
03:24
this is relatively small.
03:26
And if we change this to our 45 degree load case,
03:28
you can see that it's almost identical 0.016.
03:32
This helps us identify and understand areas where we might want to change our design
03:37
and where we might want to make updates or improvements.
03:41
We also have result tools.
03:43
In addition to the animation that allow us to generate a report,
03:46
we can include certain aspects on this report and we
03:49
can take a look at some of the properties,
03:51
manually editing or adjusting specific information in the general section,
03:55
for example,
03:56
and we can decide whether or not we want to include everything in the study,
03:60
including all of the different load cases.
04:03
Once we preview or save our report,
04:05
we'll be able to gather all the information from each of these load cases.
04:09
Let's go ahead and take a look at this simulation report.
04:12
We can see at the very top that we do have an option
04:14
to change the width of our images as we go through this report.
04:18
But take a look at all the information that's provided.
04:20
For example, information about the contact tolerances,
04:24
general settings of the mesh,
04:26
the materials that are used, the properties of those materials.
04:30
And as we get down, we'll have information about
04:32
each of the constraints and loads that were applied for each of these load cases.
04:37
You can also minimize or maximize these to simplify viewing the report.
04:41
And we can take a look at the results if
04:43
we scroll down and see things like the maximum stress.
04:47
The 1st and 3rd principal stresses,
04:49
we can see the displacement in the model and our safety factor.
04:52
Let's go ahead and hop back into fusion 3 60
04:56
I'm not gonna save this report, but you can carry on saving the report if you wish.
04:60
And from here, we wanna select finish results,
05:03
the results will be displayed at any point in time
05:06
and you can go back and forth and view those results
05:09
noting that the green check mark listed in the browser next to the study
05:12
represents that the solve has been completed.
05:15
And there are results that are available
05:17
from here. We do want to make sure that we save this data set.
05:20
We're going to be using it in the next video where we
05:22
make adjustments and we clone our simulation model and resolve our study.
05:27
So make sure that after you're done exploring all the
05:29
simulation results that you do make sure you save,
05:31
then you can move on to the next step.
