Workshop 1 Importing and Editing an Orphan Mesh: Pu mp Model Copyright 2003 ABAQUS, Inc Introdu ction The structural response of the pump assembly shown in Figure W3– 1 will be determined
The assembly components include the pump housing (imported as an orphan mesh), a gasket, a cover, and eight bolts (all imported as CAD geometry)
The analysis involves application of pre-tensioning loads in the bolts followed by internal pressure
Figure W3– 1
Pump assembly In this workshop, you will create the parts of the model
Use the Part module of ABAQUS/CAE to import the mesh of a pump housing
Some modifications of its geometric features follow
The other components of the pump assembly (cover, gasket, and bolts) will be imported as CAD geometry
All of the parts will be halved to take advantage
