Step 6: Results

Total Deformation

Let first look at Total Deformation. Under Solution (F6), click on Total Deformation. The Total Deformation plot is then shown in the Graphics window. The maximum deflection is 0.026644 in. We should check that our results make sense. It appears that the boundary conditions have been satisfied as the tip of the shaft moves downward and the hole at the other end of the crank is held in place.

Notice the deformation is exaggerated, revealing that deformation is caused by bending.

You can also animate the deformation by clicking play button right under Graphics window.
