Construction Development Using Virtual Analysis on the Example of a Roof Support

Abstract:

The CAD/FEM systems enable the analysis and development of any constructional solutions. They are particularly effective for the complex technical means. In this regard, investigations are conducted to develop methodological concept for the design using the virtual environment [1,2,3,4]. This paper presents the solution basing on the proposed structure of the complex technical mean consisting of three components: structural system, drive system and control system. The structural system includes the carrying and functional elements. The drive system refers to the elements responsible for activating the functions of technical means. However, the control system is responsible for the implementation of the selected sequence of actions. Basing on such formulated concept it was presented the project of the powered roof supports with the strait-line mechanism. The work describes the results of the virtual analysis of the elaborated roof support construction. They are considering with the analysis of its functioning and with the fulfilment of the requirements consider with the human factors.
