Pre-Analysis & Start-Up
Pre-Analysis
The results of each gauge can be approximated using beam theory as shown in this document. Note that the document uses a different bike crank and a different gauge location so while the process is the same, you will obtain different results. Also, know that the hand calculation uses tensor shear strain while ANSYS reports engineering shear strain (which is two times the tensor shear strain).
Start-Up
This tutorial assumes that you have completed the bike crank tutorial. The ANSYS project file generated from the bike crank tutorial is used as a starting point for this tutorial. The following video will show you how to make a copy of your previous analysis system within the project page.
