Need Analysis Help Loads

07/04/2015 12:47 PM

I am designing a mounting block for a motor as shown in the figure. I am not sure how to apply loads in Ansys or any FEA package to do a structural analysis . Could anyone please advise onhow to analyze this structure. .

I question your use of the word "designing" in this context.

Google "Ansys tutorials" find an applicable tutorial and read and learn.

What does, "rotates and travels up" really mean?

I thought the question was about some sort of carpal-tunnel support. Never mind!

The Newton is a measure of force, not mass! Don't confuse mass with force or weight!

The OP has kindly used SI force units. Not a mixture of masses and forces or kgf...

Can you do a pencil and paper analysis?

There's enough info there to calculate the moments and shear forces that the mount or support will be subjected too.

How much clearance do you require behind the machine, that dimension is missing. The height is also missing.

What is the assembly's purpose?

Thanks Wal. The structure I show in black is actually a frame structure to hold the motor. It is about 300 mm wide(clearance about 60 to 70 mm) and 600 mm tall. It is a pick and place mechanism i am working on for bricks transfer.

The mount to withstand these forces is not that hard to design and build just with "empirical" material selection.

The wall to which it is secured is the weak link here.

What is the wall material?
