The Topology Optimization of the Car Sub-Frame Based on APDL Language

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using APDL language, the car sub-frame finite element parametric model is created. It indicates that the emergency braking is the dangerous conditions of sub-frame. The sub-frame is topology optimized under the emergency braking, and gets the element pseudo density distribution map; By modifying the model according to the pseudo-density, the optimization results meet the design requirements. Compared to the original model, it gets a 9.05% reduction in volume, and achieves lightweight of the sub-frame.
