Importance of Analysis Software S

This document discusses the importance of analysis software for predicting failure modes and performance of engineering designs. It describes the finite element analysis (FEA) process of pre-processing, analysis, and post-processing. FEA is a numerical method that can be used to analyze complex geometries and calculate stresses, whereas simple structures can be analyzed analytically. The method involves discretizing a model into finite elements connected at nodes. FEA is useful for analyzing a vehicle's roll cage to predict failure modes and ensure passenger safety during various loading conditions like rollovers and collisions.

Importance of analysis softwares

Approach towards analysis software's

Importance of analysis
In the real world engineering ,after designing any

product before production we have to predict the failure modes of the product. We have to predict the performance and behaviour of the design; and calculate the safety margin; and also identify the weakness of the design accurately For such prediction of failure modes these analysis software's are required. Generally we use finite element analysis to analyse.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)


The Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a numerical

method for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics. Useful for problems with complicated geometries, loadings, and material properties where analytical solutions can not be obtained. Generally we can calculate stress on trusses, beams and other simple structures with simple loadings analytically. But through FEA we can analyse or calculate the stress for complex geometries and predict the performance and caluclate saftey margins for it,

FEA
This method depends upon discretization.

Model body by dividing it into an equivalent

system of many smaller bodies or units (finite elements) interconnected at points common to two or more elements (nodes or nodal points) and/or boundary lines and/or surfaces

Roll cage analysis


A frame of a vehicle is of vital important, for the

passenger and mass safety the passenger cabin must of great strength to resist crimple. The front and the rear can be failed during the various testing but the passenger cabin must be safe to withstand load So through analysis we have to predict the failure mode and achieve the safety. For this case of analysing the roll cage and other components like wheel hub, drive axle we use FEA method

Analysing roll cage.


Six loading conditions:

1. Rollover
2. Front Bump 3. Rear Bump 4. Frontal Collision 5. Heave

6. Twist Ditch
