Research And Development Of Modular Parameterized Design And Finite Element Analysis System On Gantry Crane

With the intense market competition, rapid response customer design technology for mechanical products is great importance for enterprises to improve their market competition and innovation ability. As the gantry crane product modularized and parameterized design method, the theory and key technology of modularized, parameterized design and finite element analysis system technologies on the gantry crane are studied in this dissertation, and system configuration of this technology is founded, and developed parametric design CAD/CAE system. The main contexts as following:(1) Researched the theory of the modularization and parameterization of the metal structure, and presented the tree modeling structure and the corresponding modular-driven method.(2) The reasonable module division is taken, the 3D parametric module is established and the modules and codes of the designs are coded bases on the researches of the structure and the design of the Metal Structure.(3) Studied the key technology in parameterized and module drive. Solved 3D module parameter and finite element analysis of metal structure by molding board, position sketch, up-down assembly design.(4) The module division is taken to parameterized program, update or maintain the metal structure's modules on time by technology of data management and driving-document, without the Software Developer.(5) Developed modularized, parameterized design and finite element analysis system of metal structure in SolidWorks by dint of the object-oriented development tool VB6.0 and re-development technology, which apply an excellent computer aided design tool for gantry crane metal structure design.The system will improving design efficiency and precision of metal structure, bring tremendous economy benefits, reducing working intensity and lets engineers vacate more time to jump in development of new product.
