Optimization in Design of Connecting Rod in ANSYS Software by using FEM Tool

A typical vehicle motor is a gadget in which responding movement is changed over into turning movement. In motor; cylinder, associating pole and wrench are kinematic joins which shape a slider wrench component in necessary way. Interfacing bar frames connect between the responding cylinder and turning wrench. Interfacing bar is inflexible and it transmits the push or pulls of cylinder and pivots the wrench through the two parts of transformation. In our present work, we shall perform the static structure analysis along with thermal analysis of a referred connecting rod model to evaluate the stress and other parameters under the given boundary load conditions. First, we shall prepare a connecting rod model of existing geometry in CAD software SOLIDWORKS and perform the analysis in FEM software ANSYS assigning the predetermined material. After analyzing the results, we shall run the optimization process in order to reduce the mass of the connecting rod by optimization in design. We shall then run the comparative study of better results and finalize the appropriate design.
