1、 1 外文原文 A Discussion on Modern Design Optimization The integration of optimization techniques with Finite Element Analysis(FEA) and CAD is having pronounced effects on the product design process.This integration has the power to reduce design costs by shifting the burden from the engineer to the com

2、puter.Furthermore,the mathematical rigor of a properly implemented optimization tool can add confidence to the design process.Generally,an optimization method controls a series of applications,including CAD software as well as FEA automatic solid meshers and analysis processors.This combination allo

3、ws for shape optimizations on CAD parts or assemblies under a wide range of physical scenarios including mechanical and thermal effects. Modern optimization methods perform shape optimizations on components generated within a choice of CAD packages.Ideally,there is seamless data exchange via direct

4、memory transfer between the CAD and FEA applications without the need for file translation.Furthermore,if associativity between the CAD and FEA software exists,any changes made in the CAD geometry are immediately reflected in the FEA model.In the approach taken by ALGOR,the design optimization proce

Introduction The typical design process involves iterations during which the geometry of the part(s) is altered.In general,each iterat

8、ion also involves some from of analysis in order to obtain viable engineering results.Optimal designs may require a large number of such iterations,each of which is costly,especially if one considers the value of an engineers time.The principle 2 behind design optimization applications is to relieve

9、 the engineer of the laborious task by automatically conducting these iterations.At first glance,it may appear that design optimization is a means to replace the engineer and his or her expertise from the design loop. Fig.7.1 Procedure of shape Optimization This is certainly not the case because any

10、 design optimization application cannot infer what should be optimized,and what are the design variables,the quantities or parameters that can be changed in order to achieve an optimum design.Thus,design optimization applications are simply another tool available to the engineer.The usefulness of th

Design optimization applications tend to be numerically because they must still perform the geometrical and analysis iterations.Fortunately,most design optimization problems can be cast as a mathematical optimization problem for w

In this paper,we focus on the design optimization of mechanical parts or assemblies.In this case,a typical optimized quantity is the maximum stress experienced.Typical design variables include geometric quantities,such as the thickness of a particular part.The design of Initial Design Preprocessing FE Preprocessor Optimization Preprocessor Optimization Loop FE Solver Optimization Module Optimization design
