Pin Geometry FSW

Vinicius Santos_21966

Hello, I'm in need to change pin's geometry but I don't know how to do it.
Are there  any kind of paper, video or person who can help?

I need to use hexagonal pin and conical pin.

Thanks in advance

Hello Vinicius,

Click on the Pin icon to create a pin. Currently, we support Cylindrical and Conical shapes ( Please refer to image below). 

For other shapes, you can use Geometry Tab and create pin geometry manually. 

 

 

Thanks,

Hi there Narendra,

Thanks for your support,

The pin icon is available at HyperMesh Preset for FSW?
I can't find it, if you could please, show me the way, I'll be glad!

Another question, is it possible to change geometry of the FSW preset without changing any contact, or do I need to make it on my own?

Thank you so much!!

I posted a pic of my tests.

Hello Vinicius,

The icon I mentioned is available in Inspire FSW only. If you have access to Altair connect; then you can download Inspire version too and take advantage of automatic quick setup, geometry editing etc. Inspire FSW creates the complete HyperMesh file with BCs, which you can bring inside HyperMesh and do manual setup if needed. 

About your other question: "is it possible to change geometry of the FSW preset without changing any contact, or do I need to make it on my own"

If you change geometry then you must create the new mesh and then create BCs again. You have two options,

1. Use Inspire FSW, change the geometry and let the automation work for you. You will be focusing more on the modification of the pin geometry rather than mesh and BC creation.

2. Use HyperMorph inside HyperMesh to modify the mesh as per your need. With this, you will be morphing the mesh and that does not change node or element connectivity. You just export the model with different deformed shapes. You will need to learn HyperMorph for this approach.

 

Thanks,

Hello again!!

Thanks for your support!

I'm in trouble again haha

I need to know if it's possible in Inspire FSW to change some BC's, like plate's temperature, pin's angle or some coeffecient.

like in this picture I need this to write the method and introduction.

Thanks in advance!
