Embodiment Construction

[0028] The embodiments described below by referring to the figures are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] A kind of flexible mechanism joint topology optimization method based on MATLAB and APDL of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step 1: Establish a topology optimization model of the flexible mechanism. This method uses the solid isotropic material penalty model (SIMP) as the topology optimization model. The target optimization area can be known from the given initial conditions in the design, which is defined as the design domain Φ, and the area Φ is discretized into n finite elements by using the finite element analysis software ANSYS. After discretization, export the discrete information (unit number, node coordinates) and define x i is the pseudo density corresponding to the i-th discrete unit, v i is the volume of the i-th discrete unit, and is...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of structural design of flexible mechanisms, in particular to a combined topology optimization method for flexible mechanisms based on MATLAB and APDL. Background technique [0002] Flexible mechanism refers to a new type of mechanism that uses the elastic deformation of materials to transmit or convert motion, force or energy. The concept of flexible mechanism was first proposed by Buens et al. in 1968. In the following fifty years, a large number of research results on its basic theoretical methods emerged. At present, there are two relatively systematic and mature methods, which are pseudo-rigid body model method and topology optimization method. [0003] The pseudo-rigid body model method was first proposed by Howell et al. in 1994. Its core idea is: first convert the flexible mechanism into a rigid mechanism with torsion spring, and then use the analysis and design method of the rigid mechanism to obtain the req...
