Study and Methodology on the Determination of a Part's Maximum Stress and Loading Force Using the Finite Element Analysis

摘要

The paper presents a practical application methodology in FEM analysis for the mechanical parts design. The procedure uses the CATIA CAD-CAE environment, where the 3D model preparation is simple and fast. The necessary calculations for the analyzed part are made using the finite element method. The purpose of this approach is to determine the resulting stresses under a loading force and to create an automatic rule for the force limitation. Also, in the paper are presented many theoretical aspects in the FEM field of interest.
