0:25 Simulation Start 0:56 Simplify 1:31 Materials 2:02 Constraints 2:58 DOF View 3:23 Loads 4:52 Solve In this tutorial, we will create a static simulation for our bicycle crank arm in Autodesk Fusion 360. We will simplify our assembly, to remove the fittings, then add a material, constraints and a load to the end of the arm. When we solve our assembly, we will end up with the amount of deformation. We will then run the simulation again once we core out the inside of our crank arm to see the difference in the analysis.

Since I am a student I have a lot of textbooks which I store on a wall mounted shelf in my room. As a new Ansys user, I find them at the best way to learn a software such as Ansys is to apply it to real-life situations. in this simulation, I will be going through the whole process of a basic static structural simulation of the wall brackets of the mentioned above shelf. After doing this tutorial I will analyse the results and see if I could improve it in any way. The purpose of the tutorial is to help me learn and deepen my knowledge of this software but teaching it to other novices at Ansys. Hope you enjoy yohann

Succeeding with open-source-software in product development

Because developing and building machines is a mistery for many engineers in the european union, our author has created this guide for mechanical engineering start-ups. It demonstrates, how the product development process for machines can be efficiently implemented using freely available software. The process described in this tutorial is based on established standards from the industry. This guide is based on VDI 2221 'Development of technical products and systems - Model of product development' and follows the steps of the product development process, from the machine's requirements to the signed declaration of conformity. This guide is an english translation of the German article "Leitfaden - Wie der Produktentstehungsprozess mit Open-Source-Software gelingt" from the engineering trade magazine "konstruktionspraxis"
