<\/p>\n

Hello,<\/p>\n

I would like to share a new problem I have encountered during the analysis of a climbing rope clamp in Ansys. I’ve noticed that the load results are significantly higher than expected, and I am still uncertain about the root cause of this issue.<\/p>\n

In my latest simulation, I opted for a symmetric model to expedite calculations. The displacement condition is set at 30 mm, with the ultimate goal of applying a force of 4 kN at the end of the climbing rope. The parameter settings can be found in the attached images. I understand that the symmetric model may differ from the final representation shown in the pictures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Additionally, the rope is modeled as an anisotropic material within a single body. During additional simulation attempts, errors have surfaced, as illustrated in the attached images. I applied symmetry to the sides of the housing, acknowledging that this might deviate from the actual setup. The component inside rotates between the housings, compressing the rope simultaneously.<\/p>\n

Could you kindly review the settings of my current symmetric model and advise if any discrepancies are apparent? I recognize that the ultimate model, as shown in the images, is nonsymmetric, but for the sake of efficiency, I am currently focusing on achieving satisfactory results with the symmetric counterpart.<\/p>\n

Any guidance or identification of potential errors in my model would be greatly appreciated. I sense that something may have been overlooked during the calculation settings, particularly regarding mesh errors and stresses surpassing the yield point.<\/p>\n
