Mesh generation plays an important role in determining the result quality of finite element modeling and structural analysis. Building information modeling provides the geometry and semantic information of a building, which can be utilized to support an efficient mesh generation. In this paper, a method based on BRep entity transformation is proposed to realize the finite element analysis using the geometric model in the IFC standard. The h-p version of the finite element analysis method can effectively deal with the refined expression of the model of bending complex components. By meshing the connection model, it is suggested to adopt the method of scanning to generate hexahedron, which improves the geometric adaptability of the mesh model and the quality and efficiency of mesh generation. Based on the extension and expression of IFC information, the effective finite element structure information is extracted and extended into the IFC standard mode. The information is analyzed, and finally the visualization of finite element analysis in the building model can be realized.

The Finite Element Analysis

In this study, the change of the natural frequencies in mouse femurs with osteoporosis was investigated based on a vibration test and a finite element. Three groups of the femurs include the osteoporotic group, the treated group and the normal group. In the vibration test, the natural frequencies were measured by the mobility test. For the finite element analysis, the micro finite element model of the femur was reconstructed using the Micro-CT images and the Voxel mesh generation algorithm. From the results, the averaged natural frequencies in the osteoporotic group were the highest, followed by those in the treated group. The finite element models were validated within 15% errors by comparing the natural frequencies in the finite element analysis with those in the vibration test. The developed Micro-CT system, the Voxel mesh generation algorithm, the presented finite element analysis, and vibration test could be useful for the investigation of the structural change of the bone tissue, and the diagnosis and the treatment in the osteoporosis.

The Finite Element Analysis

To reduce the construction cost of the domestic promotion of the new prefabricated concrete shear wall structure system which is promoted in our country. To analyze the factors which can affect the load-carrying capacity and seismic performance of shear wall, including the axial compression ratio, the concrete strength, the reinforcement ratio and some other factors. Among all these factors, the axial compression ratio is the main factor influencing the seismic performance and the section ductility [1]. This paper adopts the ANSYS finite element analysis program, operating a nonlinear analysis on the performance of the precast shear wall when it is with one-way loading, studying the axial compression ratio's effect on the bearing capacity and deformability of the precast shear wall. According to the finite element analysis, when the axial compression ratio is between 0.2 to 0.4 and as it rises, the specimen's bearing capacity and stiffness will increases while deformability and ductility will decrease. Through the finite element analysis, we can provide reliable theory basis for the performance of the precast shear wall when it is with one-way loading.

In this paper, a methodology of modeling and simulating the electro-statically driven micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) is presented, utilizing topography data with an arbitrary structure. In the methodology, the mask layout and process recipe of a device are first generated and the model then discretized by an auto-mesh generation for the finite element analysis. Finally the analysis is performed to solve the Laplace and the dynamic equation at a time. The methodology is applied to an electro-statically driven comb-drive as a test vehicle for verification.

Abstract The effects of variations in stiffness and geometry on the nonuniformity of tires are investigated by using the finite element analysis. In order to evaluate tire uniformity, a three-dimensional finite element model of the tire with imperfections is developed. This paper considers how imperfections, such as variations in stiffness or geometry and run-out, contribute to detrimental effects on tire nonuniformity. It is found that the radial force variation of a tire with imperfections depends strongly on the geometrical variations of the tire.
