Abstract

The industries are seeking smarter simulation tools to automatize the modeling work to alleviate the difficulties of using the numerical simulation techniques. The present work designs and implements an extensible framework to facilitate the development and deployment of the smart application-oriented simulation softwares. The kernel of the framework is the data management module which treats the various data in a unified approach. The geometry modeling module, the meshing module, the analysis module and the visualization module manipulate the data and the graphical user interface module assists in manipulating and displaying the data interactively. Two typical applications, i.e., the software for computing and analyzing the load-carrying capabilities of slew bearings and the software for designing the transmission tower, are presented for demonstrations.

Highlights

  • Numerical simulation is playing an increasing role in both engineering designs and scientific researches

  • Using the general-purpose simulation codes well is still a challenging task: on one hand, the user must be familiar with the large number of commands and the fine-tuning options of the codes; one another hand, the user must have a clear understanding in the underling algorithms in order to properly model the physical problem

  • In order to alleviate the difficulties of using the numerical simulation technique, industry or application-oriented simulation codes, such as the plastic injection molding design software [2], the die-casting simulation software [3, 4], the sheet forming simulation software [5, 6], the turbine blade design software [7] and the composite material design software [8], have been developed into which knowledge of the industries and optimized modeling practices are incorporated
