Abstract: |
The
preparation of a Finite Elements Model (FEM) is an integral part of
the study and development phases for any mechanical construction.
The complete, easy and accurate creation of the simulation digital
model, is mandatory for a successful analysis and the deduction of
usable results. It also reduces the total amount of money and time
required for the development phase in total. This work introduces
the use of a new and pioneering Pre-Processing System for the
preparation of the analyses simulation models. This work begins by
recognizing the individual parts that make up a full FE Model, and
the interrelations among them. Then, the correspondence to the real
world concepts of mechanical engineering is performed. With these as
a base, a Pre-Processing application is designed, aiming in an easy
to use and concise environment for the Analyst - Engineer. Also,
features of the Pre-Processor allowing the generation of a digital
model reusable in future analyses, are described. The Pre-Processing
System being suggested looks upon improving the techniques of
creating a FE model. It supersedes existing systems by offering
extensive utilities and automation techniques for the handing of
model data. Moreover, the Pre-Processing System organizes and
manipulates the model's data in a manner consistent with their
physical representation. As a result, the convenient and complete
management of analysis data is achieved |
