Hi all 

 

I'm working on a project to measure a temperature and a pressure. So I created a block but I want to know if it will be able to hold the pressure internally, and know if deformation is to be expected.

My need: 

- Know if the fluid pressure will deform the part, if so, for or and how to remedy it.

I'm on Solidworks 2020, with the Simulation module in it.

 

 

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience in this field, I'm more of a designer than a fluid and material resistance engineer, but at the moment, it's the ^^ crisis. Thank you very much for your help :).

  • Hello @BENJAMIN RICHARD

  • Your problem is relatively simple. Simply apply internal pressure in the pressure loads.
    However, for there to be internal pressure, the extremities must be blocked.
    In your case you have two types of holes to plug: two with threads and one with a conical connection (specify the method of hanging).
    The model will have to be prepared because it is important to know that a model for simulation is not the operational model. The threads should be removed and replaced with smooth holes. The cork must also be without a net. The diameter of the hole and the diameter of the cap must be equal! (It is by a solidary contact that the simulation will consider that it is a single volume).

    The limits of the exercise, the simulation will not give you the resistance of the threads, but the standards are ultra-well-known, you just have to apply them according to the material and the pressure surface on the bottom of the screw (part subject to pressure). For your conical fitting I don't have the model so I can't say anything.

    A little oratorical precaution on my part : if you have never been trained on SW simulation, it would be better to call on professionals in the subject. Because you will have to certify your block normally. Visiativ does performances of this type it seems to me.

    Kind regards
