Many computer-aided engineering packages use finite element techniques in order to simulate engineering problems. Particularly common are stress analysis, thermal analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics solvers. This assignment requires an investigation to be carried out into the method using common Finite Element Analysis software. You will be given a template to simulate the experience of submitting a piece of work to a journal or conference.

question1: Use Ansys Workbench or (APDL) to analyse a problem. (60 marks)

· Model a component of your choice - The component must be something that exists. As an example, the component could be a car suspension member, a bicycle handlebar stem or a lifting hook. Make the initial component simple (remove any fillet radii, lightening pockets etc.).

· Determine realistic loadings and constraints for the component and use ANSYS to analyse the performance of the component.

· Use verification methods to show your confidence in your results

· Show mesh considerations

· Use FEA to establish operational boundaries of the component. Make professional recommendations about your component example: consider points for improvement of the design.

· All results should be displayed using graphical and numerical evidence produced with the post-processor, these should be clear to read also displaying legend (this should not be cut from any images or this will simply be colourful picture).
