Finite Element Analysis and Multidisciplinary Design Optimization of Diesel Engine Connecting Rod Based on ISIGHT
Based on the multidisciplinary design optimization method and the MDO software ISIGHT, the 16PA6STC diesel engine connecting rod was taken to the model, used the Pro/engineer software to build the 3D model of connecting rod. The software ANSYS and Nastran was taken to complete the static analysis and modal analysis to get the maximum equivalent stress and the first and second modal frequencies. the software including Pro/Engineer、ANSYS、Nastran, was combined on the ISIGHT to complete the structural optimization work on the condition of restrain the stress and modal of the connecting rod, to explore the application of the MDO design method in the diesel engine connecting rod structure optimization field, offer a reference for the further improvement design study.
