Description The latest innovation by ANSYS is Separating Morphing and Adaptive Remeshing Technology (SMART), which relies on the Unstructured Mesh Method (UMM) process introduced above. UMM is more versatile and easy to use than any previous fracture simulation technology. Engineers can place a crack of any shape at any location within the geometry of the part being simulated, including at the surface or in the bulk, and use simulation to determine the rate of crack growth (if any) and the number of cycles to failure in the case of fatigue conditions. Remeshing with TET elements is done automatically at a critical region around the crack tip at each iteration of the simulation process. Automatic remeshing refines calculations in the most needed regions without requiring the engineer’s intervention. All of this is accomplished without compromising or influencing the accuracy of the results. Key Objectives Cyclic loading can initiate a crack in a structurally weak area of a component; the crack can then grow due to fatigue. The growth of a crack throughout the volume of a component can result in catastrophic fracture. The aim of this project will be to investigate the effective use of SMART crack growth technique in application to a high-pressure pump component made of stainless steel and subjected to fatigue loading.
