Initial Results
n

Take #1
n

Incorrect mesh (Solid 8 node)

n Back

plate of Lever only

Take #2
n

Incorrect mesh (Shell 8 node)

n Too

big to solve (elements) n To much Disp. force applied

Final Results

Impact Statement
n

n n

The maximum allowable displacement of the roller is 0.04 The maximum displacement of the roller is 0.00248 The cam will remain engaged on the roller The new design will work

Conclusion
n n

Overcame obstacles Displacement of roller | Maximum allowable

n

0.00248 | 0.04 The design is valid

Proved cam will not override
