Modeling Cantilever Beam using Extrusion

Introduction

In this session, we will first make a cantilever beam using Extrusion feature. Then usethe integrated Pro/MECHANICA to perform the finite element analysis of this cantileverbeam.

Create a Cantilever Beam

1. Start Pro/E Wildfire.2. Click menu: File New . A dialog will pop up as shown in Figure 1.3. Give a new name and/or description if desired.4. Click OK button and Pro/E will create an empty solid part.

Figure 1. Create a Cantilever Beam

5. Select the Front Reference plan.6. Then click the SketchTool . Information will be filled in the Sketch Window.

7. Click Sketch button in Figure 3.8. Now Pro/E is in the Sketch mode. This will allow you to sketch in the XY plane

and extrude in the Z direction.9. You can close the References window by clickclose button.

Apply Load

5. Rotate the cantilever beam, so that the other end is facing you.6. Click main menu: Insert Force/ Moment Load 7. Click the surface on end of the cantilever beam ( Opposite to the one has

displacement boundary condition)

8. Click mouse middle button to confirm the selection ( or click OK button in theselect window). Then the two small windows at the bottom will close.

9. In the Force/Moment Load window : Change the name toApplied_Load_in_Y,

10.Input -100 in the Force Y component11.Click Ok to confirm it.

Export Results as an Image File

This part will go through the steps in exporting the results from Pro/MECHANICA to

image files. You can save in different file format, but for reasonable quality with smaller

file size, JPG file is a good choice. Then you can insert it into popular word processor,such as Microsoft WORD.

1. Click menu: File Export Image
