The paper establishes a three-dimensional solid model of the frame, and simplifies the frame model according to the simplification rules of finite element. Use Pro/MECHANICA module of Pro/ENGINEER software to carry out static and modal analysis of the frame, and to conduct sensitivity analysis of geometric parameters having a great impact on the frame characteristics, thus the most sensitive size parameters of the frame performance are gotten. By optimization design function of Pro/MECHANICA module, specifying goals of optimized design and ranges of size sensitive parameters, the frame structure is optimized.
