Frame Design Considerations
▪ Many Types of Frame sections
▪ pipes, rectangular tubes, square tubes,
Angles, Channels, I beam etc
▪ Many Fixing methods:
▪ Weld
▪ Pins
▪ Bolted
▪ Bespoke profiles extruded for lengths
Customer Example: Kone Escalators
Frame Design - Escalator
Stats
• vertical rise 30m
• length of 60m
• Inclined at 30 Deg
• Speed 0.75m/s
High Use
• 300 people every minute
• Low Maintenance
• Maintenance Loads
• weighs over 40 tonnes
40 Year life
• travel the equivalent distance to the moon & back
• Min 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, 364
days a year
Loads
• Carriage has large force
• Set Supports
• Breaking / Startup
• Harsh Environment
Installation Considerations
• Limited time
• Limited Space
• Transportation Loads
Calculations
• Frame analysis
• Key beam loading
• FEA on Joints
• Bolt Analysis
• Fatigue Analysis

Inventor Frame Design
▪ Many Design Accelerators
▪ Utilise Content Centre
▪ Millions of components
▪ Built around standards
▪ Upload your own
▪ Frame tools
▪ Sketch > Place > Treatments
▪ Change > Reuse > Calcs > Documentation
Frame Analysis | Inventor
Frame Design - Escalator
FEA | Nastran In-Cad
▪ Linear Analysis – More Options
▪ Bolted Connections
▪ Buckling
▪ Thermal Stress
▪ Fatigue
▪ Drop-test
▪ Non-Linear –
▪ Beyond Yield Limit
▪ Large Displacement
Some common applicationsto move to Nastran In-CAD
Extending Frame Generator
Design your own Components
▪ Custom Sections
▪ iPart Tables for variants
▪ Custom notch profiles
▪ Custom Properties
▪ iMates for End Caps
▪ Patterned Features
▪ Points for Cable and Harness
