Title: |
Design and organization of a post-processing system for structures'
solution data, solved with the finite element method
|
|
|
Abstract: |
Post-processing of analysis results is an integral part of a
computer simulation of a structure (CAE) using the Finite Element
Method (FEM). The goal of this dissertation is to design a automatic
post-processing system, capable to fulfil current analysis model
growing needs. In this dissertation the procedures that are used in
the industrial field are studied. This way the problems are
detected, and the characteristics of the modern finite element
models, such as the size and the number of result files, are
identified. Ways to enrich the available information to the engineer
are examined closely, in order to improve the calculation
possibilities and the visual representation of the results.
Innovative ideas are proposed to accelerate the procedures using a
solver's input file information, and automation is achieved with the
creation of a script library for every analysis. Additionally this
dissertation studies the modern graphics technologies and their
application, in order to improve the visual quality of model
results. Finally, techniques are proposed to compare the results of
different model versions, and methodologies to correlate them with
experimental data, something that leads to more accurate and faster
evaluation of structural behaviour |
