Dynamics Simulation And Strength Analysis Of The Elevator

Hydraulic elevator which has various forms has the predominance of loading heavy products, operating stably and reliably and servicing conveniently. Thus, it can be used in different working environment. Platform is not only the biggest but the most important component. The dynamic simulation and strength analysis of the platform can verify feasibility of the project which provides the basis for manufacturing the physical prototype.The strength and rigidity are two basic requirements for the mechanical capability of products. The technology of CAE has offered powerful analysis function to carry out FEA analysis for model. Through that result we could get the stress and strain of any point as to provide the reliable information to optimize the layout of the structure.Firstly, the model was created in SolidWorks software; secondly, the model is transferred to the ADAMS envmonment according the data interface the software provided; thirdly, constraint force and drive were added according to real motion. Carrying through dynamics simulation to get displacement, velocity, acceleration and contact force curve. By evaluating the calculated results, the reasonable suggestions were given for improving the structure. With software of ANSYS, according as actual size to model, and according to the basic step of FEA, a FEA of static strength of elevator is made in order to get the information about the platform such as static stress, rigidity, mode of vibration. By comparing and evaluating the calculating result, we proposed the reasonable suggestions for improving the structure.Results and methods for elevator are got by FEM and dynamics simulation technique. It can not only improve calculated accuracy, efficiency, but also shorten product design cycle. Product quality and reliability are improved.
