3 WS19-3 PAT301, Workshop 19, October 2003 n Problem Description u There are various methods to analyze a physical system. For this case the system is the connecting rod. The following workshop exercise will consist of analyzing the connecting rod using 2D plate elements. After the geometry(surfaces) has been imported from an existing file, it will be meshed with quad4 elements. Then, loads(on edges) and boundary conditions(constraints), and element properties(e.g. thickness) will be assigned to the 2D mesh. The model will then be analyzed using MSC.Nastran. The displacements and stress will be viewed in MSC.Patran.

4 WS19-4 PAT301, Workshop 19, October 2003 n Suggested Exercise Steps 1. Create a new database called connecting_rod_2D.db and import the IGES file. 2. Mesh the geometry(surfaces) using the IsoMesher with quad4 elements. 3. Connect all the elements of the model by equivalencing the nodes. 4. Create a cylindrical coordinate system at the center of the top of the connecting rod. 5. Create a field to be used with the applied edge loading. It will use the cylindrical coordinate system. 6. Create the necessary loads and boundary conditions for the model. The load will be at the top of the model(at piston) and the constraints will be at the bottom(at crank shaft). 7. Create the aluminum material properties. 8. Create the 2D plate(shell) element properties for the connecting rod. 9. Check the load case Default to insure that all the loads and boundary conditions are selected. 10. Run the simulation using MSC.Nastran. 11. Read and view the results in MSC.Patran. Both deformations and stresses will be looked at. Two different coordinate systems will be used to view the stresses.
