Research on Parametric Finite Element Analysis Method of Escalator Truss

Abstract

On the premise of ensuring the structural strength and safety performance of escalator truss, in order to improve the efficiency of design and development of serial escalator truss, a parametric finite element analysis platform for escalator truss is developed by using the secondary development of finite element method and Visual C++ and data interface technology. In this paper, the structural design and strength characteristics of escalator truss with different parameters are studied, and the strength characteristics of escalator truss with maximum boundary load are analysed. The results show that by using the parameterized finite element analysis platform of escalator, users can get the structural strength results of the serialized truss through automatic modelling calculation only by inputting parameters. While satisfying the structural strength of the truss, the analysis process is greatly simplified and the analysis efficiency is improved.
