Abstract Currently, the pre-processing stage of finite element analysis is a major stumbling block towards automation of the entire finite element modeling and analysis (FEMA) process. The lack of complete automation of FEMA greatly limits its impact as a design tool. This paper presents a blackboard-based, object-oriented modeling system for intelligent a-priori automatic three dimensional mesh generation. The modeling system enables the user to define the physical system at a natural domain-specific high level of abstraction and automatically derives lower-level finite element model representations. Knowledge sources interact with the blackboard to make modeling idealizations and select optimal meshing strategies. An example application in the domain of finite element modeling of multi-chip module microelectronic devices is presented.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to address finite element modeling for dynamics and its applications to aircraft landing and braking systems. The components of the system in the example model include the entire landing gear, wheels, brakes, and tires. The use of finite element modeling techniques in dynamics as a design tool for landing and braking systems is discussed. Vibration mode shapes from the finite element analysis, including both whirl and squeal, are shown. Correlation between the finite element models and the experimental modal analyses of various system components are presented. Correlation between the performance of the complete landing and braking system model and the actual system during aircraft operation is also presented.
