3 WS1-3 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 n Problem Description u This is an introductory exercise that will utilize the basic tools and capabilities of MSC.Patran. A preliminary design for a piston will be imported and analyzed to verify whether or not the design can withstand the expected loads.

4 WS1-4 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 n Suggested Exercise Steps 1. Create a database piston.db. 2. Import the existing geometry. 3. Create a finite elemental mesh for the piston head. 4. Use the Plot/Erase feature to erase the geometry. 5. Create a nodal constraint at each of the pinhole surfaces of the model. 6. Create a uniform pressure load applied to the top surface of the piston. 7. Create the material property for steel. 8. Create a 3D element property for the model. 9. Check the load case Default and verify that the correct loads and boundary conditions have been applied. 10. Send the model to MSC.Nastran to be analyzed. 11. Read the results.

Use the middle mouse button and rotate the model to attain the same view shown on next page. a b c d f

7 WS1-7 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 Step 2. Import the Model Geometry (Cont.)

8 WS1-8 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 Step 3. Create a Finite Element Mesh Create a finite element mesh for the model using the TetMesh-er. a. Elements : Create / Mesh / Solid. b. Set Elem. Shape, Mesher, and Topology to Tet, TetMesh, and Tet10, respectively. c. Select Solid 1 under Input List. d. Uncheck Automatic Calculation and enter 0.5 for the Global Edge Length. e. Click on Apply. a b c e d

9 WS1-9 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 Step 5. Create Constraints Constrain the two pinhole surfaces. a. Loads/BCs : Create / Displacement / Nodal. b. Enter fixed for the New Set Name. c. Click on Input Data… d. Enter under Translations only. e. Click on OK. a b c d e

10 WS1-10 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 Step 5. Create Constraints (Cont.) Select the application region for the nodal constraints. a. Click on Select Application Region… b. Set the Geometry Filter to Geometry. c. Click under Select Geometry Entities, then on the Surface or Face icon. d. Select both pinhole surfaces and click Add. e. Click on OK. f. Click on Apply. a b d e g c Illustrated above are the two application regions for the model. After choosing the first application region and clicking Add, use the middle-mouse button to rotate the model and select the other pinhole surface. c d

11 WS1-11 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 Step 6. Create a Pressure Load Create a pressure that will be applied to the top surface of the piston. a. Loads/BCs : Create / Pressure / Element Uniform. b. Enter piston_pressure for the New Set Name. c. Click on Input Data… d. Enter for the Pressure. e. Click on OK. a b c d e

12 WS1-12 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 Step 6. Create a Pressure Load (Cont.) Select the application region for the pressure. a. Click on Select Application Region… b. Set the Geometry Filter to Geometry. c. Click under Select Solid Faces, then select the top face of the piston, and click Add. d. Click on OK. e. Click on Apply. a b c d e Shown above is the application region for the pressure load. c

13 WS1-13 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 Step 6. Create a Pressure Load (Cont.) It may not seem as though the pressure load is applied uniformly throughout the top surface of the piston. That is because the application region was geometry, and not FEM. When this is done the markers only appear at geometry display lines.

14 WS1-14 PAT301, Workshop 1, October 2003 Step 7. Create Material Properties Create a material property for the piston. a. Materials : Create / Isotropic / Manual Input. b.
