multibody simulation of hand tool - locking plier using MBD for ANSYS - ANSYS simulation


The forces applied to the locking plier by the hands of the user result in a distribution of significant forces on the tool. Using MBD for ANSYS simulation, a variety of input forces on the grips can be modeled and simulated numerically over a wide range of conditions to obtain an accurate range of distributions of forces over the tool without requiring a physical prototype in ANSYS Workbench. (Simulation in ANSYS environment)

These resultant reaction forces at the various joints and connections in the tool can be transferred into a finite element model in ANSYS for structural analysis and durability analysis.

The steps to use MBD for ANSYS

  1. Import the CAD file
  2. Create joints, spring and contact
  3. Define the gripping force as a driving force
  4. Simulate and review result (Simulation in ANSYS environment)
  5. Modify the parameters and compare the results
