CAD-CAE Analysis Method for Complex Radial Gate Structure
Regarding the complexity of pre-processing operations in finite element analysis of gate-pier structures,this method utilizes the 3D solid modeling software SOLIDWORKS and the meshing software HyperMesh to complete the establishment of the 3D solid model,component organization,mesh generation,constraint and contact connection setup,and other complex operations.In ANSYS APDL,only file import is needed for calculation and data processing.Through a practical engineering example of a gate-pier system,the results show that this method combines the advantages of vari-ous software tools,providing a clear and straightforward process that is easy to modify.Additionally,data transfer be-tween different software is seamless,thus improving the efficiency of finite element analysis for complex structures.The pre-processing method employed in this study can also be adapted for use in other finite element analysis software such as ABAQUS/WORKBENCH by simply modifying certain parameters.It can serve as a significant reference for similar curved gate designs and verifications.
