Workshop 8 - Goals

• In this workshop a high pressure vent assembly is analyzed for stress and deflection.

• Some of the results from the analysis will be difficult to interpret if all bodies are active during postprocessing. Our goal is to isolate parts of the model and use some of the advanced DS features for postprocessing.

Workshop 8 - Assumptions

• We will assume that gas is being vented through the inlet pipe into the expansion chamber. Inside the chamber the pressure drops to 20% of the inlet pressure.

• The expansion chamber is rigidly mounted to the inlet thus we will leave this contact region defined as bonded.

• The support bracket allows limited movement to the pipe so no separation contact will be used here.– See the contact description on the next page.

• The inlet pipe and bracket are modeled using structural steel while the expansion chamber is polyethylene.

• Add a slice plane.– Plot the stress scoped to the expansion chamber then

reorient the model to look into the Z axis as shown below.• Note the triad at the bottom of the screen can be convenient to

reorient the model.

Workshop 8 – Slice Plane Notes

• You may create as many slice planes as desired and each can be edited individually. This can be useful for things like plotting a quarter section of a result.

– Note, use the Tab key to toggle between defined slice planes to modify each

• To hide the slice plane(s) use the drop down geometry type icon and return to an “exterior” plot. The slice plane(s) remains in its current location and can be reactivated whenever desired.

• Figures which contain slice planes will display slice planes regardless of the setting of the geometry icon.
