Question

I'd like to analysis about lathe's chuck(should use ANSYS). By soidworks pgm, i made 6 part
    1. chuck body
    2. chuck jaw x 3
    3. screw fixer
    4. bolt
    5. Rock pin
    6. rigid bar(S10) with d=22mm, l=300mm
and assembled these part files and inserted rigid bar into chuck body about 160mm to fix it,

The main topic what i want to analysis is affection by small displacement of chuck jaw, rigid bar and (if there is additional affection to chuck body) chuck body.

So, the way i see it, Bolt, screw fixer and etc like sub part files can be neligible or can be considered as a rigid body(chuck body + other parts)

I learned that , Force or Pressure should be applied to tangent surfaces to find deformation. But how can i find these things?(Forces, Pressures) and if possible, give me some advices about how to analyze this Project

Answer 1

Hope this help
