Description
Hydroelectric turbine foundations are exposed to complex geometries, multidirectional forces, and varying operational conditions. Learn how to use MIDAS FEA NX to build a detailed 3D model, apply realistic load cases, and evaluate critical structural responses for reliable stress assessment.
Key Points
Model complex spiral casing and draft tube geometries with advanced meshing techniques.
Apply vertical, radial, and tangential loads using cylindrical coordinate systems.
Evaluate six operational scenarios, including standstill, normal operation, and worst-case events.
Compare principal stresses, total displacements, and bending moments across load cases.
Extract sectional forces from solid elements using Gauging Shells, LDF Sum, and line diagrams.
