Structural Optimization of Packer’ Cone with Material Properties and Mechanics Parameters Based on ANSYS

Cone is one part of a packer. To understand the seal effectiveness of the packer, mechanical analysis must be made for it. The finite element model of packer is set up and packer minimum setting load changes are calculated under different climb angle of cone. Results show that reduce the cone angle of climb can make the packer sealing load significantly lower.The calculation results provide the theoretical basis for the real operation.
