DEFORMATION ANALYSIS OF GEAR SHIFT FORK WITH MASS OPTIMIZATION

Abstract

In this work, the mass optimization and static analysis of the gear shift fork, which shows the deformations of the model, is performed. The first step is to create a 3D model in the Autodesk Inventor 2023 software package, then a finite element mesh is created and a static deformation analysis is performed. After that, the model is optimized with a 23% mass reduction. For optimization, the Shape Generator option is used. On the optimized model, deformation analysis is performed under the same loads and constraints as for the old model. By comparing the results from both models, it can be concluded that in the version of the model with reduced mass, the deformation displacements increase.
