Design Variables for a Standard Design Study

Design Variables for a Standard Design Study LectureNotes Standard Design Studies A Standard Design Study can be used to run a base analysis (static, modal, an so on) at specific design variable values. This type of study can be used to run consequential scenarios without modifying actual part/assembly dimensions.

Procedure: Understanding Standard Design Studies

Scenario
You set up a Standard Design Study to obtain the results of a static analysis at some specific design variable values instead of modifying the model geometry and analysis parameters directly. Standard_DS std_bracket_orig.prt

Task 1. Open the Mechanica application and define a Standard Design Study.

1. Click Applications > Mechanica. The simulation features (material, load, constraints, parameters, static analysis) are already defined in this model.

2. Click Mechanica Analyses/Studies

from the main toolbar.

3. Click File > New Standard Design Study.... 4. In the Name field, type ST_DESIGN_STUDY. 5. In the Analyses section of the dialog box, select the BRACKET_STATIC analysis. 6. Click Select Dimension in the Standard Design Study dialog box.

7. Select the round feature under the mouse cursor in the figure. Select the R1.00 dimension.

8. Select d4 in the dialog box and type INNER_FILLET as shown in the figure. 9. Note the value of 1 in the Current cell for INNER_FILLET. Type 2.5 in the Setting cell as shown in the figure.

10. Click Select Dimension

in the Standard Design Study dialog box.

11. Select the Extrude feature as shown in the figure. Select the 7.00 dimension.

12. Select d1 in the dialog box and type FLANGE_LENGTH as shown in the figure. 13. Note the value of 7 in the Current cell for FLANGE_LENGTH. Type 5 in the Setting cell as shown in the figure.

14. Click Select Parameter and click Strain.

. Select LOAD from the Select Parameter dialog box

15. Note the value of 100 in the Current cell for LOAD. Type 500 in the Setting cell as shown in the figure.

16. Click OK to finish the definition of the Standard Design Study and close the dialog box. 17. Click Close to close the Analyses and Design Studies dialog box. Note: The 2.5, 5, and 500 settings are the values of the design variables that the BRACKET_STATIC analysis is to be run for.

18. Return to the Standard Pro/ENGINEER mode by clicking Applications > Standard. 19. Click Save from the main toolbar and click OK to save the model. 20. Click File > Erase > Current > Yes to erase the model from memory. This completes the procedure.
