#222060 : Finite Element Analysis of a Clamp Frame
PART 1 INITIAL STRESS ANALYSIS
Analysis Model is prepared with the dimension as shown in Fig.1-1
Fig.1-1 Initial Specification
Material propertie as shown in Table1-1 is adopted in the model.
All the degree of freedom is fixed at the lower platform, as shown in Fig.1-2;
Fig.1-2 Boundary Condition at the Lower Platform
Upward axial force (15000N) is applied on the inner surface of the cylindrical hole, as shown in Fig.1-3;

Mesh is created with a default size, as shown in Fig.1-4;
Fig.1-4 Mesh with a Default Size : 12481 Nodes / 7372 Elements
After the calculation, the following results are obtained;
1. A Stress Plot of the von Mises Stress for the entire frame, clearly showing the area of highest stress.
