Week 11: Car Crash simulation
Aim: Simulating car crash for the given model in Ansys Workbench.
Procedure:
Intially the Explicit Dynamics system is loaded in workbench.
Engineering materials used for this model:
The model imported to Geometry by RMB on geometry -> import -> car.stp
Here, meshing, contacts, boundary condition setup, and solution output request are given for analysis.
Meshing:
Analysis Settings:
End time is taken as 0.001s
Boundary Conditions:
Displacement is applied on wall: 500mm
Fixed support applied on back of car where crash possibility is zero:
After setting the boundary conditions, the soultion outputs as requested is included from
Only for Case 1:
solution -> insert -> Stress -> equivalent von mises
solution -> insert -> Deformation -> Total deformation
Results:
The solving is taken place and can be checked from
The results are taken for Stress and deformation for both cases
Equivalent stress:
Case 1:
Total deformation:
Case 1:
Data From Parametric study
Comparison of Equivalent stress and directional deformation for both cases:
Car body thickness | Max Equivalent Stress, MPa | max Total Deformation , mm |
0.3mm | 11790 | 1035.3 |
0.4mm | 11824 | 14885 |
0.5mm | 11754 | 8589.5 |
Conclusion:
Simulation of car crash on the given model is successfully simulated using ANSYS WORKBENCH.
