INTRODUCTION
i. ABOUT CATIA
CATIA (computer-aided three-dimensional interactive application) is a multi- platform software
suite for computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), computer-aided
engineering (CAE), PLM and 3D, developed by the French company Dassault Systems. This document
discusses concepts and terminology used throughout the CATIA application. It familiarizes you with
the commonly used functions of CATIA.
➢ Concepts
Surfacing
Surface modeling is the very important application of the CATIA here is used to makes the
model in surface having no thickness. It is the only surface of the any solid object Or we
can make the solid object by making first the surface design of the object. So the surfacing
shows the actual view or shapes and size of the object. Here we are using SKETCH TRACESS to
make the design of the any component. It is a technique in which where the help of the
pictures we can make the surface body of the object.
3D Design
CATIA uses a 3D design approach. As you design a part, from the initial sketch to the final
result, you create a 3D model. From this model, you can create 2D drawings or mate
components consisting of parts or subassemblies to create 3D assemblies. You can also
create 2D drawings of 3D assemblies. When designing a model using CATIA, you can visualize
it in three dimensions, the way the model exists once it is manufactured.
Assembly Definition
An assembly is a collection of related parts saved in one CATIA document file with CAT
Product extension Assemblies.
Drafting
You create drawings from part or assembly models. Drawings are available in multiple views
such as standard 3 views and isometric views (3D). You can import the dimensions from the
model document and add annotations such as datum target symbols
i. ABOUT ANSYS
The ANSYS Mechanical software suite is trusted by organizations around the world to rapidly
solve complex structural and thermal problems with ease. Structural mechanics solutions from
ANSYS provide the ability to simulate every structural aspect of a product, including nonlinear static
analysis that provides stresses & deformations, modal analysis that determines vibration
characteristics, through to advanced transient nonlinear phenomena involving dynamic effects &
complex material behavior.

1.2 HISTORY
The first safety valve was invented in 1681 by Denis Papin, a Frenchman, who was born
at Blois, France in 1647. He commenced his experiments on the phenomena of steam in July 1676,
at London under Robert Boyle, the distinguished Irishman who founded the Royal Society of
London. About 1680, Papin brought out a little steam apparatus called, “Papin’s Bone Digester,” for
softening animal bones.
England’s Charles II ordered Papin to make a digester for his laboratory at Whitehall, and
the invention excited much interest. By means of this steam-pressure cooking machine, delicious
jellies were made from beef, mutton and other bones.
In 1855, John Rams bottom, later locomotive superintendent of the London and North
Western Railway, described a new form of safety valve intended to improve reliability and
especially to be tamper-resistant.
1.3 AIM OF PROJECT
During the project work most aspect of engineering fields are covered in master course in
CAD/CAM in Indo German tool room Aurangabad. The purpose of introduction of project is to
develop.
1.4 THEORY
A valve is device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of fluid (Gases, liquids,
fluidized solid, slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways.
a spring loaded safety valve used especially on locomotives in which two valves
are pressed down by a single spring attached to a crosspiece prolonged to form a hand lever by
which the valves may be eased up to test their adjustment.
Rams bottom safety valve is intended to improve the reliability and specially
to be temper resistance. A pair of plug valves were held down by common spring loaded
lever between them and single central spring. Various forms of Rams bottom safety valve
will be produced. Somewhere separate fittings to the boilers to the separate penetration and
others are U-shaped housing as we can see in this model this is U-shaped model fasten to the
single opening in the boiler shell.
U-shaped housing having flange coupling connection given mount to on the boiler
and for easy maintains. The eyebolt is mounted at the center space of valve upon which the
link is connected the link is having slot which allow the
Spring to expand as the pressure acts on valve the valve gets open up and spring expand and
the pressure is distributed equally by this type of design and the pressure gets released. The
spring tension is important parameter for the working of rams bottom safety valve the lever
can also used to release the pressure manually the in boilers the flange size also vary with the
equipment these valves are called as safety valves or pressure valve. In this case the diameter
of housing and thickness of the housing plays a very crucial role in design of Rams bottom
safety valve.

▪ Materials used are cast Iron, stainless steel, structural steel etc.
▪ Comparison between two metals at various load condition is done and then
section carried out.

5.1 CONCLUSION
From this project I get knowledge of how discovery of safety valve takes place, also which
parameters are required in designing the valve are considered. This project also gives information
various types of other valves used in old days.
It gives the importance of safety valve in human life. Human safety is first preference in
industries and that’s why the importance of valve increases. This project covers the all factors related
with rams bottom spring loaded safety valve. With their all parts and their actual design features.
This project also shows the drafting, assembly of project and analysis of project when actual
working takes place on it.
From this project I learnt about how actual designing of any industrial component takes place
by manufacturer. And also get knowledge about analysis of industrial components/parts will takes
place and how the material selection process takes place.
