When your beam is finished and you’ve gotten your stress analysis study started, your next task is to choose a material. We’ll be going through these step-by-step. You should now have a few new settings in your property tree. Now a window with a bunch of settings will appear but don’t let that startle you! Pick the default settings and press OK. Here you will find a new set of tools in the toolbar, click on ‘Create Study’ to actually create the stress analysis study. My beam is 10x2x0.5 (you can use either IPS ( English system of Units) or SI ( International System of Units), the concept will still be the same).ĭon’t worry about the mesh that’s already been done, we’ll get into that later! Starting The Stress Analysis StudyĪfter you’ve created the model you will go to the environment tab and find this icon: I recommend that you get curious and try to do something special with your beam when you’re done with this tutorial!
Step-By-Step Introduction to Autodesk Inventor Stress Analysis Creating The Geometry to Analyze
FEM can also be referred to as FEA (Finite Element Analysis). When done in Autodesk Inventor Stress Analysis it literally takes a complex structure and turns it into small parts (this is what the mesh does) and then it solves calculations behind the scenes with a system of equations, this system has different inputs such as constraints, materials and loads. This creates a system of equations that can symbolize the entire problem. The calculations will then be done on these smaller and simpler parts, one by one. What FEM (Finite Element Method) does is to divide a huge problem into smaller and simpler parts. FEM is a numerical calculation method that finds approximate solutions for problems ranging from easy to very complex, the problems are partial differential equations. It’s actually not as complex as it sounds. We should start off by introducing you to what Finite Element Method (FEM) is. I’ve created this step-by-step tutorial so it’s easy to follow but if you need any help just leave a comment!Ĭlick here for more Autodesk Inventor Tutorials. There’s also a FEM exercise at the bottom of this page. The goal of this tutorial is to hold your hand while you try out your first FEA (Finite Element Analysis). I’m here to let you know why you should give Autodesk Inventor Stress Analysis another shot and to teach you how to it up and running.Īutodesk Inventor has an add-in named Stress Analysis that is based on FEM ( Finite Element Method) (We’ll get into what FEM is in a while!) Thanks very much to Viktor Rask of for this Awesome introduction to the Autodesk Inventor Stress Analysis Environment.Ĭlick here for details of how you can become a guest writer on the CSO Blog! Have you been trying to figure out the Autodesk Inventor stress analysis add-in for a while, but never quite knew what to use it for? Or why you should even bother learning it!
