Equilateral Triangle Grid Cylindrical Shell Parametric Design

Abstract:

By using ANSYS software parameter of design language APDL the parametric design macro program of two types of equilateral triangle cylindrical lattice shell are given with the given parameters of the span S, the length L, the rise F, the number of lattice in the span direction the model of equilateral triangle cylindrical lattice shell would be obtain easily. Thus offer convenience for force analysis and optimization design about this structure. The force analysis of the two type equilateral triangle cylindrical lattice shell is done. By contrast with the five typical cylindrical shells, the two type equilateral triangle cylindrical lattice shell has good rigidity and strength, and has application value in practice engineering.
