Session: MA223-1L
Title: Designing Snap Fit Assemblies with Autodesk® Inventor® and Autodesk Algor®
Instructor: Tyler Henderson
Course Description: Industrial application of structural analysis for snap fit assemblies with sliding and separating contacts will be demonstrated. A real industrial case will be introduced. Assumptions will be made to simplify the problem. At first the simplest possible solution will be sought with Autodesk Inventor Simulation to understand the phenomenon and the behavior. The possible limitations of this first approach will be identified. Based on the conclusions from Autodesk Inventor simulation, a non-linear analysis will be done using Autodesk Algor. Finally, simulation results will be interpreted and correlated to the real situation to access the design weaknesses and suggest modifications.
