Workbench-based Lightweight Design of Monorail Crane Drive Section
Design a lightweight device for monorail crane drive section.Three-dimensional modeling of the gate plate using SolidWorks,numerical simulation and finite element analysis using Workbench software,through the static stress-strain characteristics of the gate plate using size optimization,shape optimization,morphology optimization,and the use of topology optimization of Workbench to find out the optimal solution for the lightweighting of the gate plate.Optimization results show that:under the premise of ensuring the strength and stiffness of the gate plate,the mass of the gate plate can be reduced by up to 16.04%,which saves the manufacturing cost of the drive section,improves the utilization rate of the material,and realizes the requirement of energy saving and lightweighting under the premise of meeting the usage conditions.
