The finite element technique has been used for the examination of a chassis-type structure. A computer program was developed to predict the static and dynamic behaviour of frames. The program is quite general but its use has been restricted to structures consisting of beam elements only. A scale model of a production car chassis was made in perspex. Nodal displacements of the model, in bending and torsion, natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes were predicted by the computer program and confirmed experimentally in the laboratory. Several coarser idealizations of the model were examined to study the effect on the accuracy of predictions and the computation time.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to make an analytical comparison of two vertical tail models from a structural point of view. Design/methodology/approach The original vertical tail design of PZL-106BT aircraft was used for Computer aided design (CAD) modeling and for creating the finite element model. Findings The nodal displacements, Von-Mises stresses and Buckling factors for two vertical tail models have been found using the finite element method. The idea of a possible Multidisciplinary concept assessment and design (MDCAD) concept was presented. Practical implications The used software analogy introduces an idea of having an automated calculation procedure within the framework of MDCAD. Originality/value The aircraft used for calculation had undergone a modification in its vertical tail length, as there was an urgent need to calculate for the plane’s manufacturer, PZL Warszawa – Okecie.

The application of computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques is becoming essential in modern metal-forming technology. Thus process modeling for the determination of deformation mechanics has been a major concern in research . In light of these developments, the finite element method--a technique by which an object is decomposed into pieces and treated as isolated, interacting sections--has steadily assumed increased importance. This volume addresses advances in modern metal-forming technology, computer-aided design and engineering, and the finite element method.

Abstract For a Computer Aided Design of a concrete truck mixer, a six cubic meter concrete mixer drum is analyzed using the finite element method. The complex mixer drum structure is subjected to pressure loading resulting from the plain concrete inside the drum, in addition to its own weight. The effect of deceleration of the vehicle and the rotational motion of the drum on the reactions and stresses are also considered. Equivalent static loads are used to represent the dynamic loading effects. Three-dimensional shell elements are used to model the drum, and frame elements are used to represent a ring stiffener around the shell. Membrane forces and bending stresses are obtained for different loading conditions. Results are also compared with approximate analysis. The CAD procedure directly used the available drafting and the results were used effectively in the design of the concrete mixer drum.

Rapid Prototyping (RP) can be defined as a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a part or assembly using three-dimensional Computer Aided Design (CAD) data. What is commonly considered to be the first Rapid Prototyping technique, Stereolithography was developed by 3D Systems of Valencia, CA, USA. The company was founded in 1986, and since then, a number of different Rapid Prototyping techniques have become available. In paper are presented possibilities of Rapid Prototyping application in area of intelligent optimization design.

A computer-aided design (CAD) system is developed for automatic process design and finite element (FE) modeling of axisymmetric deep drawn components. Using the theoretical and experimental rules, the system initially designs the process sequence of the component. The obtained process sequence is automatically modeled in abaqus software and the system tests whether failure occurs. The failure is supposed to happen when the fracture is predicted in FE simulation. If failure is predicted, the system changes the appropriate process parameters and carries out the simulation process again until all drawing stages are successful. The system returns the requested parameters for die design such as part geometries in middle stages, drawing forces, blank-holder forces, die, and punch profiles radii. The system is successfully tested for some components found in industry and handbooks.

Recently, studies concerning motorcycle have been an overwhelming area of research interest. As an alternative to the real world assessment, researchers have utilized motorcycle simulator as a workstation to conduct studies in the motorcycle niche area. This paper deal with the development of a new motorcycle simulator named Semi-Interface Motorcycle Simulator (SiMS). Combination of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software made it possible to design and simulates the motorcycle simulator’s conceptual design before being fabricated. The SiMS setup not only provides a near-to-real and immerse motorcycle riding experience on a super sport motorcycle model, but it also allows safer high speed motorcycle simulations to be conducted in a controlled environment that is portable and ergonomically easier to transport to various venues.
