The document discusses the use of finite element analysis (FEA) for evaluating the design of a robotic gripper assembly before the official approval process. It outlines the need to assess the deflection uniformity and stresses of a complex assembly consisting of over 50 parts, emphasizing the importance of accurate calculations and rapid assessments. The simulation can be completed quickly, allowing for design changes and providing a user-friendly setup with support.
FEA for Early Stage Design
- 1. FEA for Early Stage Design SimScale Demo and Discussion
- 2. CASE 1 – ROBOTIC GRIPPER – FEA Plant Management Fixed to the load block or boom here 200N gripping force Objective: before starting official approval process, the designer wants to assess the uniformity of the deflection during grappling. ● New design for gripper assembly ● 50+ part assembly, Roark hand calcs overly simplified ● 6 times safe working load for lifting equipment ● Proof load testing a complete entire assembly is expensive to get wrong How can I assess the assembly stresses quickly and accurately? Are my calculations correct? Design Engineer
