Good day All
I'm new in using simulation study on solidworks so would like to find out what i'm doing wrong
We have a shaft and on the shaft their is a motor and winding drum on
In the center of the shaft it has a bearing holding the shaft in place
Im trying to get a study to see what causes the stuff to break on the armature of the motor and what i can do to make the armature stronger
Attached it a picture to help u anderstand
Any responds would be appreciated
The motors Details
DC Motor
2680 kW
91 Rpm
315 kNm
The motor picks up about 15tons
First you should not have the center of the shaft fixed if you are trying to mimic real conditions. I'd suggest a radial restraint (and longitudinal restraints on the edge) at the bearing contacts of the shaft. You'll have to split the surface so only the bottom part of the shaft gets the support. Then I'd apply what I think the applied torque is from the winding drum based on the loading condition at worst case (highest Fxd). Finally I'd either apply what the driving torque is or maybe, as a first pass, fix that region.
Remember your shaft design from college when looking at the max stress allowed.
