Structural Modification for the Automated Design Process 860806
The method of structural modification allows a considerable reduction in effort for a finite element analysis of a structure which is altered in a specific region. By use of this method in the design process, it is possible to calculate many design variations in order to get an optimized structure. Because of the reduced effort, the analysis can be carried out at the same workstation where the generation of the mesh and the displaying of the results is done.
