StressCheck Tutorial: Comparing Pre- and Post-Repair Configurations via Fused Auto Contact
In this StressCheck v12.0 tutorial, solutions of pre-repaired and post-repaired model configurations will be performed using Assembly Meshing/Auto Contact in combination with Parts & Solution Configurations.
- In the pre-repaired configuration, a 3D panel with a circular cutout under axial loading will be analyzed for detailed stresses.
- In the post-repaired configuration, a circular tapered doubler patch will be bonded over the circular cutout (via the “Fused” Auto Contact option now available in StressCheck v12.0) and analyzed for detail stresses.
- Direct and meaningful comparisons will be made between the pre-repaired and post-repaired configuration stress distributions.
