Computer Aided Analysis of Composite Structural Elements

Abstract:

The article presents a reflection on the definition of the feature, which enabled the development of feature-based method for modeling of composite structural components. The need for defining feature is a direct result of the ambiguity of statements or narrow definitions and their applications. So far are well developed feature, which are used in process design (CAD) - geometric feature, design feature and in the process of manufacturing (CAM) - Technology feature, and also focused on functionality (CAE - motion simulation) functional feature. The feature representation of a fully functioning feature-based system that does the aggregation of information about the structure of a construction object made from layered composites.. This approach is based on a single, independent feature representation that can be used for design, finite element analysis, technology process planning. The paper describes the main approach to the engineering analysis with the use of FEM and a convenient method of simplifying the geometry of the model and the composition of the composite. Also discussed are possible extensions to features to enhance the finite element meshing process.
