FEA of the Rotated Casting Machine Based on Hypermesh and ANSYS

The rotated casting machine is a kind of non-standard equipment. In order to verify whether the structure and strength of the rotated casting machine meet the design requirements, 3d model of the whole machine is established by SolidWorks, and the hexahedron mesh of 3d model is processed with Hypermesh. Contact pair and MPC (multipoint constraint) algorithm are adopted to accomplish discrete grid connection of the whole machine between components. The finite element analysis of the strength of the whole machine under two extreme conditions is finished by importing ANSYS, which solves the problem of structure on the stress concentration and verifies that the strength of the rotated casting machine satisfies the design requirements. It is useful for the structure optimization in the development of the subsequent rotated casting machine.
