Example 69: Simplified Model for Bracket Analysis Using Remote Load

General
-
How to simplify an analysis model by using a remote load is explained.
-
A remote load is used if a torque load is taken into account as well as a distributed load.
-
Unless specified in the list below, the default conditions will be applied.

Model
A load is applied to the bar of the model. The model can be simplified by using a remote load.
In the project file, Remote Load boundary condition is applied in Model 1 and Remote Load and Rigid Face boundary conditions are applied in Model 2. In Model 2, a remote load rigidly connected with a remote point can be applied. It can simulate the state where the joint parts of the bar and bracket are adhesive.

Results
The deformation diagram is shown below. The contour diagram shows the magnitude of displacement. The unit is [m].
Model1 : Remote Load

By setting a remote load, a torque displacement in the rotational direction is generated.
Model 2: Remote Load and Rigid Face

Since the hole portion is rigidly connected, it is observed that the displacement is totally smaller than that of model 1.
