Software integrates design and analysis processes.(TESTING CHARACTERIZATION)
Advanced Materials & Processes, May, 2006
Software that integrates the design and analysis processes will increase the efficiency of designing parts by making it possible to quickly evaluate and optimize complex designs, report researchers at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind. Currently, the geometry of a part is first created by CAD software, then converted into a mesh of simple shapes.
When the mesh is analyzed, the results indicate the part's strength and other characteristics via FEA. After the finite-element model is created, the part is analyzed to determine how well it will function. If a portion of the shape is found to need redesign, the entire mesh must be recreated to reflect the changes. The goal of the program is to unify both the CAD design and analysis so that they are carried out...
