The Comparison of the Variety of Finite Element Method (FEM) Based on the Arm of Mining Excavator

Abstract:

In this paper, authors made contrast with the three finite element methods in analysis accuracy and usability .Those are all based on the structural analysis of mining excavator arm. The first fem is using UG solid modeling capabilities to create model .The finite element model is generated by UG_ANSYS, including setting the loads of material properties and boundary conditions ,also loading work. The process is called preprocessing completely .Then export a“. inp” file,after that, imported that file directly into ANSYS software for solving. The second one is to import solid mode created in UG into ANSYS software directly ,then take pretreatment and solution accordingly.The last one is using UG modeling and UG NX NASTRAN (the finite element analysis function) for structure analysis. It is concluded that using UG completely pretreatment of ANSYS analysis method and UG NX NASTRAN method feel more convenient to operate it with the high analyze accuracy,with the two methods , designers can modify mining mechanical arm weak positions more easily.In turns,they can improve the designing level of physical prototyping.
