Special Software Development for Tire Vulcanization Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

Special software for tire vulcanization simulation was developed using ABAQUS software as the core solver and Visual Basic6.0 as the develop language. The software was based on principles of easy operation, professional and intelligent analysis. In this way, automation and professionalization of the analysis process were performed. The special software mainly consists of three functions: Firstly, model grid was automatically recognized, and corresponding configuration files were automatically built, which were required in the analysis preprocess. Secondly, ABAQUS solver was invoked to solve the model. Finally, results such as state-of-cure, temperature and other curing performances were automatically extracted and saved as excel or word format. Besides, the curing profiles could be proposed. The results showed that this software is easy to use and work efficiently.
