We start our modeling by opening COMSOL Multiphysics, bringing us to the New window.

We will conduct a static analysis of a bracket assembly, and in the end, perform a parametric sweep to analyze a bearing load at different angles.

Today, we will be learning how to model a structural mechanics problem, in COMSOL Multiphysics. Shown in the video: Bracket - Static Analysis (version 4.4).After an initial analysis is complete, the direction of the pin load is varied through a parametric sweep to see the variations in force exertion, stress distribution, and deformation. As a result, the two bracket holes will experience a loading from this pin. A load is applied on the two arms of the bracket, which is representative of a pin being placed between the holes in the bracket arms. In this model, a bracket assembly is fixed in place through eight mounting bolts. Brackets serve as a core component of support for many mechanical devices in numerous industries. The smallest components, while often overlooked in design, can be the most instrumental ones. To demonstrate the workflow for building and solving a structural mechanics problem, the COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.4 tutorial model of a static bracket assembly is used. This includes demonstrations on how to create parameters, named selections for different parts of your geometry, local variables to implement complicated expressions defined in the model, custom meshes, and tabulated results. This video introduces you to the Structural Mechanics Module and walks you through the entire model-building process for setting up and solving a mechanical problem.

The Structural Mechanics Module, an add-on to COMSOL Multiphysics, offers a virtually limitless amount of capabilities for you to do just that. Video: How to Model Structural Mechanics in COMSOL MultiphysicsĬonducting the structural analysis of a model is an imperative step in the design process. COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.4 and the Structural Mechanics Module are used to analyze the resultant forces, stresses, and deformations that occur on solid structures that are subjected to external loads. We have just published a completely revamped version of our video tutorial on the static bracket model. I have great news for anyone who is eager to learn the fundamentals of simulating structural mechanics in COMSOL Multiphysics.
