Workshop – what if • Goal • Using Parameter Manager to investigate the behavior of stress, mass, and deformation in the hitch receiver shown here as geometry parameters are changed during vertical loading. • Model Description • Model is composed of a multibody part (3 bodies) created in Design Modeler. Constraints and load are shown on the picture on right. • Output parameters • Mass • Max deformation • Max equivalent stress • Input parameters defined in DM • Thk_ds = 2.5 mm • Horiz_ds = 30 mm • Vert_ds = 30 mm Thk_ds Horiz_ds Vert_ds
Workshop – what if 1. File>Import>Reciver.dsdb 1 2 2. Double click on Parameter set, we will not go to Mechanical application
Workshop – what if 3. Add additional three design points in the table of design points 3 4 4. Update all Design Points 5 5. Show status bar
Workshop – what if Table of all design points - results 6. Charts, Properties, Tables may not be available by default, go to Main menu>View>Outline 6
Workshop – what if 7. Highlight parameter P2 in the Outline of all parameters 7 8. Double click on Design Point vs P2 to obtain a Chart 8
Workshop – what if 9. Double click on Parameters Parallel Chart (all) 9 9 Top and bottom values on the chart indicate the range relative to each parameter Each color coded line on the plot represents one of the design points. Individual parameters are displayed along the bottom of the chart
Workshop – what if 10. Copy design point DP2 to Current, RMB to P4 for the DP2 and “Copy inputs to Current”, notice how current changes 10 11. RMB to Current and “Update Selected Design Point” 11
Workshop – what if Solution for the current design point 12. Return to project 13. Double click on Model 13 Check the results
