Abstract

This paper presents an expert system-based procedure for the creation of airframe finite element models from the geometric model available in a computer-aided design system. The objectives of the approach presented is the computerization of a process that is currently carried out in a semimanual manner, include previous modeling knowledge into the system, and provide a clear path for an ever-increasing level of automation in the process of creating analysis models for this class of structure. A main feature of the system developed is the combined use of algorithmic procedures and expert knowledge operating on data provided by previously run design software to produce an entirely different form of model to be used as input to a numerical analysis.
