Composite section modeler.(SOFTWARE EXCHANGE)
Mechanical Engineering-CIME, January, 2009
Capability: The VABS tool is used to model composite beams with arbitrary sectional topology and materials. Typical applications include composite rotor blades, turbine blades, wings, and bridges. Two to three orders of magnitude of computing time can be saved with little loss of accuracy by using VABS relative to 3-D analyses, according to the vendor. The application uses geometry and material details to calculate sectional and inertial properties. Commonly analyzed properties include stiffness, neutral axes, center of gravity, mass, principal inertial axes, shear correction factors, and shear center. Analysis also covers 3-D displacement and strain and stress fields.
Hardware: PC running Windows, Macintosh, Linux or Unix.
Developer: Georgia Institute...
