Structural Analysis of an Elbow Bracket

Structural Analysis of an Elbow Bracket

This model performs a structural analysis of an elbow bracket of steel fixed at one end. The component is part of a support mechanism and is subjected to both mechanical loads and thermal loads.

This tutorial model takes you through the steps to carry out a detailed analysis of the part using the Structural Mechanics Module. In the various parts of the model you are introduced to using the available seven basic analysis types, together with numerous postprocessing possibilities. These analysis types are:
