Optimization Design of Towbarless Aircraft Tractor Frame Based on ANSYS Workbench

Article Preview

Abstract:

The 3-D frame model of towbarless aircraft tractor was established with the UG software, and then transferred into ANSYS Workbench to conduct the finite element static analysis to check the bending strength of the frame on maximum load working conditions. Using topology optimization module, original design of frame was optimized in accordance with the calculation result. It shows that the strength of optimized frame meet the design requirements, while the weight of optimized frame is reduced by 8%.
