Question

The plate shown below is made of 1040 tool steel. It is subjected to a vertical distributed load of P- 400 lb/in on the top edge. As a project engineer, it is your job to determine the resulting stresses and deformations in the plate. The plate is 7/16 inch thick. 5) Using Solidworks MCAE software, explain how you would develop the solid model for the part. Include all appropriate commands. Using Solidwords Simulation, show how Finite Element Analysis can be used to determine the stresses and displacements. Explain what assumptions are being made for the simulation and discuss the steps in the method. Indicate any areas of particular interest. Include all appropriate commands. a) b) (20 pts)
