Analyzing the Effects of Lifting on a Wagon and Train Model in Ansys Workbench

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around performing a lifting analysis of a wagon with a train on it using Ansys Workbench. Participants explore the implications of lifting the wagon, including potential permanent deformation and the appropriate methods for analysis.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks advice on how to analyze the effects of lifting a wagon with a train, questioning whether to apply acceleration to represent the lifting velocity.
  • Another participant expresses concern about the complexity and potential dangers of the analysis, suggesting it may be better suited for a professional.
  • A different participant questions the characterization of the analysis as dangerous, suggesting it is merely a static analysis.
  • There is a request for more context about the analysis, including whether it is intended for certifying a lifting or rigging fixture, indicating a need for additional details and possibly images.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants exhibit differing views on the complexity and safety of the analysis, with no consensus reached on the necessity of professional involvement or the nature of the analysis itself.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided detailed assumptions or definitions regarding the analysis, and there are unresolved questions about the specific goals and context of the lifting analysis.

Hello!

I wish to do a lifting analysis in Ansys workbench.

Basically it is a wagon with a train on it. I wish to analyse what happens to the model when lifting the wagon which has the weigth of the wagon+train.

What is the easiest way to analyse what will happen to the wagon when lifting it with slings attached to the side of the wagon? Should I apply a acceleration to the wagon which will represent the velocity of the lifting? I must decide if the lifting will result in any permanent deformation to the wagon when lifting it... any idea on how to proceed?

Thanks!

This sounds like a complicated and potentially dangerous analysis, have you considered that it might be better to have this analysis done by an experienced professional?
 
Why dangerous? Just static analysis...
 
Is this static analysis being done to certify a lifting or rigging fixture for a real-life application? Please provide more context (including images if possible) regarding the analysis you want to perform...
