Using a Design Insight Plot

Review a configuration of the model where the top of the eyebar is flatter.

  1. Click the Ready-DesignInsight study tab to select the study.
  2. In the Simulation study tree, right-click Ready-DesignInsight and select Activate SW Configuration.
  3. Right-click the study in the Simulation study tree and select Run .
  4. After analysis ends, create a P1: 1st Principal Stress plot with psi for units.

    The weight of the new design after the removal of material is 10% less than the original design. The maximum first principal stress for the new design is ~3.2% higher.

      Original Configuration New Configuration Change
    Max P1: 1st Principal Stress 793 psi 818.5 psi 3.21% increase
    Weight .87 lbs .79 lbs 10.1% decrease
