In this simulation, I have performed the static simulation for 'O-Ring'.
The main step in this simulation is to create the hyperelastic material and assigning it to the O-Ring.
The analysis step is performed using the Mechanical scenario creation app.
The steps are as follows:
1. Design of assembly
2. Meshing of parts
3. Material Creation :
Create a Custom Rubber Material
Create a new hyperelastic material that inherits the properties of the material assigned to the O-ring in the SOLIDWORKS simulation study, Ready.
- From the Setup section of the action bar, click the down arrow next to Material Palette , and select Create Material .
- In the Covering Materials section, enter 0 in the Number of Materials field.
- In the Core Materials section, confirm that Number of Materials is set to 1.
- Optional: In the Core Materials section, enter a descriptive Title (for example, O-ring elastomer material).
- In the Core Materials section, expand the Add Domains section, and select Simulation Domain.
All materials applied to parts in an analysis case must have a simulation domain. A simulation domain consists of material properties and material behaviors.
- Click OK.The Material Definition: Simulation Domain dialog box appears, and the 3DSearch results list the new material.
Tip: If the Material Definition: Simulation Domain dialog box is not visible, minimize the 3DSearch window. - Expand Structures > Abaqus Multiphysics > Mechanical > Elasticity, and select Hyperelastic.
The Hyperelastic dialog box opens.
- From the Strain energy potential options, select Mooney-Rivlin.
- Enter the following material property values:
Material Property Value C10 840 psi C01 210 psi D1 9.527e−07 _psi For 3DEXPERIENCE material property values, an underscore "_" next to a unit indicates division or power of negative one. For example, a value of 10_psi means 10 /psi or 10 psi-1.
The SOLIDWORKS properties of the Mooney-Rivlin hyperelastic material model map to 3DEXPERIENCE material properties as follows:
SOLIDWORKS Mooney-Rivlin Material Properties 3DEXPERIENCE Mooney-Rivlin Material Properties First Material Constant C10 Second Material Constant C01 Poisson's Ratio D1=3(1−2v)2(1+v)(C10+C01)D1= 3(1−2v) 2(1+ v) (C10 + C01) - Click OK.
You created a custom rubber material.
4. Allocation of materials
5. Defining initial conditions
6. Application of loads, contact properties, Constraints
6. Static/ Explicit step creation
7. Exploring the results
