Computer Aided Design and Finite Element Analysis of Rolling Shutter

In this paper the design and analysis of Large Rolling Shutter is being carried out. The Shutter has to be designed for Hyderabad city. The basic parameters for designing of Rolling Shutter are size of shutter, wind speed of area and position of fixing of shutter. The size of shutter depends upon the requirement of client and the wind speed also depends on the city in which the shutter is going to be installed. Here as shutter is to be installed in Hyderabad city, the wind speed of city is to be considered. The Wind speed in city is 150 Km/Hr. the Initial 2D design of shutter is made on the basis of design information and recommendations of the Company in AutoCAD. The 3D assembly model of same is created in Solid Works. Now the finite element analysis of the design is carried out for a wind load of 150 Km/Hr. In analysis it is found that the stress developed in the design are high than the limiting values. Hence, the shutter is redesigned and the analysis of modified design is performed. It is found out that in the modified design the stresses developed in the design are within limit.
