Structural Mechanics in 3D
Compute the deformation of a clamped crankshaft due to a load exerted by pistons.
Specify a Graphics3D.
| In[1]:= |  X |
Load the finite element package and create a finite element mesh.
| In[2]:= |  X |
| Out[2]= |  |
Specify the 3D stress formulation.
| In[3]:= |  X |
Specify constraints such that the boundary of the crankshaft is held fixed at these positions.
| In[4]:= |  X |
Specify a boundary load pushing in the negative 
axes.
| In[5]:= |  X |
Solve the coupled equations.
| In[6]:= |  X |
Visualize the original crankshaft and the deformed crankshaft in red using the finite element package.
| Out[7]= |  |
