Method Study on Digital-Model Conversion of Magnetic Worm from CAD Software to ANSYS Software

Abstract:

In order to solve the model element-missing problem of magnetic worm during the transmission process from Pro/Engineer software to ANSYS software, the paper proposes a novel transmission method. Tooth surface point-data file is established by the MATLAB software. Then the tooth surface curve is generated by the Pro/Engineer software according to the point-data file. The curve is imported into ANSYS software to set up the finite element analysis model. Finally grids are divided by the ANSYS software. After a series of programming and related works, the finite element model of the worm is established in ANSYS software and it indicates that this method is practical and effective and successfully resolved the model element-missing problem of magnetic worm during the transmission process from Pro/Engineer software to ANSYS software.
