Pre-Analysis & Start-Up

Pre-Analysis

1. Root Radial Force

2. Simple Bending Moment Calculation

• Compare drag coefficient

Start-Up

Summary of steps in the above video:

1. Drag and drop a static structural analysis system in the project schematic. Name it FEA. 
2. Material Properties Set-Up
   1. Go in Engineering Data
   2. Add a new material and name it homogenized_orthotropic
   3. In the left toolbox, under physical properties, double-click on density and enter 1550 kg/m^3
   4. Expand Linear Elastic and double-click on Orthotropic Elasticity (click the plus sign)
      1. Enter the material properties given from the problem statement. 

Go to Step 2: Geometry
