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

In summary, the conversation discusses a request to perform a lifting analysis in Ansys workbench for a wagon with a train on it. The goal is to analyze the effects on the model when lifting the wagon, with slings attached to the side, which has the weight of the wagon and train combined. The question of whether to apply acceleration to represent lifting velocity and the potential for permanent deformation is also raised. The suggestion is made to seek the help of an experienced professional and more context and images are requested to further understand the analysis being requested.

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...
 

1. What is "lifting analysis" in Ansys WB?

"Lifting analysis" in Ansys WB refers to the simulation of fluid flow around an object in order to calculate the lift force acting on the object. This analysis is commonly used in aerospace engineering to design and optimize aircraft wings and other lifting surfaces.

2. How is "lifting analysis" performed in Ansys WB?

Lifting analysis in Ansys WB is typically performed using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) module. The user can input the geometry of the object, specify the flow conditions, and choose the desired turbulence model. Ansys WB then solves the governing equations of fluid flow to calculate the lift force acting on the object.

3. What types of objects can be analyzed using Ansys WB lifting analysis?

Ansys WB lifting analysis can be applied to a wide range of objects, including wings, airfoils, propellers, and other aerodynamic shapes. The object can be either 2D or 3D, and can have a simple or complex geometry.

4. How accurate is the lift force calculated by Ansys WB?

The accuracy of the lift force calculated by Ansys WB depends on the quality of the input data and the chosen turbulence model. In general, Ansys WB has been validated against experimental data and is considered to be a reliable tool for predicting lift forces on objects.

5. Can Ansys WB be used to analyze unsteady lift forces?

Yes, Ansys WB has capabilities to simulate unsteady flow and calculate unsteady lift forces. This is useful for analyzing the aerodynamics of objects in dynamic situations, such as during takeoff or maneuvering. However, more advanced turbulence models may be required for accurate results in unsteady flow conditions.
