Building the Structure Model
1. Start Pro/E Wildfire and open the Driver part file.

2. Before beginning any analyses, you will need to create two datum planes which will be used later to define the point at which a load
will be applied to the part. Select the Datum Plane icon .

3. Select the plane labeled RIGHT as a reference, and set the offset to 7.0. Click the OK button to create the plane.
4. Select the Datum Plane icon again. Select the plane labeled FRONT as a reference, and set the offset to 0.25. Click the OK button to
create the plane. You should see the two planes shown in Figure 4.1.
[Figure 4.1]
5. You will now constrain the second datum plane to always be in the center of the part, so that if the thickness of the part should
change, the datum will still be in the middle. Select the main protrusion in the model tree (named Protrusion id 39 in the figure),
hold down the control key, and select the second datum plane (named DTM2 in the figure).
6. Right click near the model tree, and select [Edit] from the pop-up menu. You should see the dimensions of the protrusion and the
plane, as shown in Figure 4.2.
[Figure 4.2]
7. Select [Tools] -> [Relations] from the menu bar. The dimensions on the part should change to symbolic names rather than actual
dimensions.
8. Add a relation so that the distance from the FRONT plane to the datum plane is half the thickness of the driver, as shown in Figure
4.3 (the names of the dimensions might be different for your model). Select the OK button to accept the relation.
[Figure 4.3]
9. Now you can begin defining the FEA model. Select [Applications] -> [Mechanica] from the menu bar. A window will be displayed
containing the unit information for the assembly. Note the units displayed, as all analyses you will perform will not show units, and
click the Continue button on this window.
10.Make sure the FEM Mode button is unchecked on the Menu Manager. If you cannot uncheck it, you will need to modify the
installation of Pro/E.
11.You will begin by setting the material properties of the driver. Select [Structure] -> [Model] -> [Materials] from the Menu Manager.
12.Select AL6061 and click the Copy Material icon .

13.Click on the Assign button, and select [Part].
[Figure 4.4]
14.Select the driver, and click the Okay button from the Select window. Close the Materials window.
15.Select [Constraints] -> [New] -> [Surface] from the Menu Manager.
16.In the Constraint window, set the name to be Pin_Constraint.
17.Click on the arrow icon to select the surface, and select the cylindrical side surfaces of the pin (you may have to hold the Control key
and select two surfaces). Click the OK button on the Select menu.
18.You need to constrain the pin from all movement except rotation in the z-direction. Set the z rotation to free and all other rotations
and translations to fixed, as shown in Figure 4.5. Select the OK button.
[Figure 4.5]
19.Select [Constraints] -> [New] -> [Surface] again. This time, name the constraint Hole_Constraint and select the inner surface of the
hole in the driver. Set the x and y translations and the z rotation to free, and set all other motions to fixed.
20.Select [Done/Return] from the Constraints menu.
21.Select [Loads] -> [New] -> [Surface] from the Menu Manager.
22.Name the load Slider_Load. This load will represent the weight of the slider and the guide acting on the hole in the driver.
23.Define the surface on which the load is acting to be the inside surface of the hole.
24.Leave the distribution as Total Load, Uniform. Set the Y component of the force to be -24 lbs, as shown in Figure 4.6, and select the
OK button.
[Figure 4.6]
25.Select [Loads] -> [New] -> [Surface] again, and name the new load Driving_Force. This load will represent a force acting on the
driver to rotate it about the pin. However, we will make this force just large enough so that it will counteract the weight of the slider
and guide, keeping the driver stationary.
26.Define the surface to be the bottom surface of the driver, as shown in Figure 4.7.
[Figure 4.7]
27.Set the Distribution to be [Total Load At Point]. This will allow you to apply the force at a particular point. However, this method will
prevent singularities from forming when performing the finite element analysis by applying a statistically equivalent force, spread out
over the surface rather than applied at a particular point.
28.Click the arrow icon to define the point at which the force will be applied. Select [Points] -> [Create] from the Menu Manager.
29.While holding down the Control key, select the two datum planes you created and the bottom surface of the driver. Select OK from
the Datum Point window.
30.In the Force/Moment window, set the Y component of the force to 80 lbs, as shown in Figure 4.8, and select the OK button to create
the force.
[Figure 4.8]
31.Select [Done/Return] from the Loads menu. You should see the two constraints and two loads as shown in Figure 4.9.
[Figure 4.9]
Performing a Finite Element Analysis
1. Select [Analyses/Studies] from the Menu Manager.

2. Select [File] -> [New Static] from the Analyses and Design Studies window.
3. In the Static Analysis Definition window, set the name of the analysis to Driver_Static_SinglePass. Make sure LoadSet1 and
ConstraintSet1 are selected, and that the method is set to Single-Pass Adaptive. Performing a single pass will provide less accurate
results than a multiple pass analysis, but it is useful since it can quickly show approximate results. Select the OK button.
4. Select the Run icon on the Analyses and Design Studies window to begin the analysis. Select Yes when asked if you want error
detection.
5. This analysis should just take a minute or two. You can view the progress by selecting the Display Study Status icon .
6. When the analysis is completed, select [Results] from the Menu Manager. A new window should open.
7. Select [Insert] -> [Results Window] from the menu bar.
8. Click the icon under Design Study and select the analysis you just performed. Set the display type to [Fringe], the quantity to
[Stress], and the component to [von Mises]. Select the OK and Show button. You should see the display shown in Figure 4.10. You
can rotate and translate this display using the same mouse commands that you would use to rotate a part when modeling it.
[Figure 4.10]
9. By default, you do not view the mesh that Mechanica automatically created. To view the mesh, select [Edit] -> [Results Window].
10.Under the Display Options tab, check the Show Element Edges box and click the OK and Show button.
11.You can insert more results windows to show other stresses, displacements, etc. Select [Insert] -> [Results Window] again. Select
the same design study. This time, set the quantity to Displacement and the component to Magnitude. Under the Display Options
tab, check the Deformed and Overlay Deformed checkboxes. Click the OK and Show button. You will see the displacement of the
driver, as shown in Figure 4.11. Notice that the displacements are greatly exaggerated, with the scale at the right indicating actual
displacements.
[Figure 4.11]
12.Since these results look right, you can now perform a multi-pass static analysis, which will produce more accurate results. For this
model, a multi-pass analysis won't take much longer than a single-pass one, but for a very complex part, there would be a big
difference in run time. Close the results window, and select [Analyses/Studies] from the Menu Manager.
13.Select [File] -> [New Static] from the menu bar, and name the new analysis Driver_Static_MultiPass. Change the method to Multi-
Pass Adaptive, and click the OK button.
14.Repeat steps 4 - 11 for the new analysis, and see how it compares with the single-pass analysis. You should see the results shown
in Figure 4.12.
[Figure 4.12]
Sensitivity Analyses and Optimizations
1. Pro/Mechanica allows you to perform sensitivity analyses that show how a particular dimension or model feature affects the results of
an analysis. In this section, you will first perform a sensitivity analysis to determine how the diameter of the pin affects the
maximum von Mises stresses in the driver. First you will need to define the design parameter. Select [Model] -> [Dsgn Controls] ->
[Design Params] from the Menu Manger.
2. From the Design Parameters window, select the Create button.
3. Click on the Select button, and then select the pin in the model window. Select the dimension R.25, as shown in Figure 4.13.
[Figure 4.13]
4. In the Design Parameter Definition window, change the name to Pin_Radius. Set the minimum value to 0.1 and the maximum to 0.4.
[Figure 4.14]
5. Click the Accept button and the Done button from the Design Parameters window.
6. Select [Analyses/Studies] from the Menu Manager, and select [File] -> [New Design Study] from the Analyses and Design Studies
window.
7. Change the name of the study to Pin_Radius_Sensitivity and change the type to [Global Sensitivity].
8. Select Driver_Static_SinglePass as the analysis. While this will not give as good of results as using the multi-pass analysis, it will cut
down the time required to run the study. If you were performing an analysis of a real part that you have designed, it is highly
recommended that you use a multi-pass analysis.
9. Check the box next to Pin_Radius, and make sure the start is set to [minimum] and the end to [maximum].
[Figure 4.15]
10.Select the Accept button, and select the Run icon to start the analysis. This analysis will take longer than the previous ones
(about 10 minutes on a 2 GHz machine). You may want to use the Display Study Status icon to track the progress.
11.Select [Results] from the Menu Manager.
12.Select [Insert] -> [Results window] from the menu bar, and open the Pin_Radius_Sensitivity study you just performed.
13.Select the Define Measure icon and select [max_stress_vm]. Select the arrow icon under Design Var, and select the Pin_Radius
variable.
14.Select the OK and Show button. You should see a graph like the one shown in Figure 4.16. As expected, the maximum von Mises
stress decreases as the pin radius increases.
[Figure 4.16]
15.Another task that Pro/Mechanica can perform is an optimization design study. You will use this feature to find the optimal thickness
of the driver and radius of the pin which minimize the total mass of the driver while not exceeding a particular maximum stress.
Select [Model] -> [Dsgn Controls] -> [Design Params] from the Menu Manger.
16.From the Design Parameters window, select the Create button.
17.Click on the Select button, and then select the main body of the driver in the model window. Select the dimension showing the
thickness of the part (currently 0.5).
18.Change the name of the parameter to Driver_Thickness. Set the minimum to 0.25 and the maximum to 0.75.
19.Select Accept and Done from the windows.
20.Select [Analyses/Studies] from the Menu Manager, and select [File] -> [New Design Study] from the Analyses and Design Studies
window.
21.Change the name of the study to Dimension_Optimization and change the type to [Optimization].
22.Make sure the goal is set to minimize total mass. Under Measures, select the Create button and select [max_stress_vm]. Set the
constraint to be less than 1000.
23.Click the Select button next to Analysis, and select Driver_Static_SinglePass. Once again, this will decreasing the run time but give
poorer results than if you would use the multi-pass analysis.
24.Under Parameters, check the boxes next to Pin_Radius and Driver_Thickness.
25.Change the Optim Convergence to 2%. Keep the default parameters for everything else.
[Figure 4.17]
26.Click the Accept button, and select the Run icon . This study may take a while (about 1 hour on a 2 GHz machine).
27.Use the Display Study Status icon to track the progress. This display will give you information for each iteration of the study,
including the best guesses at the optimal thickness and pin radius. It will also tell you the value of the maximum stress and whether
the constraint is satisfied or violated.
28.The run should terminate after about 9 iterations. Near the end of the status window, you should see the optimal pin radius and
driver thickness, as shown in Figure 4.18. You should obtain results similar to these.
[Figure 4.18]
29.Repeat steps 6 - 11 from the previous section to insert results windows showing the stresses and displacements for the optimal
configuration. You should see results similar to those shown in Figure 4.19. As you can see, the driver is thinner and the pin is
larger than in the original design.
[Figure 4.19]
30.Select [File] -> [Save] from the menu to save the results window.
31.Close the results window and select [File] -> [Save] from the menu bar to save the model setup.
