Abstract

The optimal fixture scheme can effectively reduce the deformation of sheet metal parts in the normal direction of their main plane. The fixture layout design requires a great deal of finite element analysis, which limits efficiency and quality of fixture design. This article proposes a two-stage method to decrease the number of finite element analyses for fixture layout design. First, three locating points are generated by using particle swarm optimization based on the rigid model. Second, the other points are optimized by establishing a response surface modeling based on radial basis function. Finally, through the case of rear bracket plate, this work elaborates two-stage fixture locating scheme design process. The results show that the two-stage method has good simulation effect and higher prediction accuracy.
