Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of finite element calculation of water conservancy projects, and in particular to a two-dimensional grid generation method and system for finite element calculation of earth-rock dams aimed at optimizing the number of rock foundation grids. Background Art

[0002] During the design and construction of earth-rock dams, stress and deformation analysis is an important means to ensure the safe operation of earth-rock dam projects. Although the finite element method has been widely used as a powerful tool for analyzing engineering problems, in the process of meshing the two-dimensional geological finite element model, it is necessary to consider the geometric irregularities and mesh transition problems caused by material inhomogeneity at the same time in order to balance the calculation accuracy and efficiency. The existing finite element pre-processing software does not have special technical means for this application scenario, and manual optimization and adjustment are required during processing, which is time-consuming and has high technical barriers.

[0003] The geometry and material properties of earth-rock dams are complex and varied, and traditional mesh generation methods are difficult to adapt to this complexity. Especially on rock foundations, how to optimize the number of meshes to improve computational efficiency and accuracy is a technical challenge. Existing mesh generation methods often require a lot of manual intervention, and the quality of the generated meshes varies.

[0004] In finite element analysis, the density of the grid directly affects the accuracy and efficiency of the calculation. In areas that require precise calculations, such as stress concentration and large deformation areas, small-scale grid elements are used, while in areas that do not require precise calculations, large-scale grid elements can be used. However, how to reasonably divide the grid and estimate the areas that do and do not require precise calculations is highly dependent on the engineer's processing experience.

[0005] With the continuous development of CAE simulation technology, how to balance computational efficiency and accuracy has become an urgent problem to be solved. Meshing is one of the key factors to improve computational efficiency and accuracy, but how to reasonably optimize the mesh, especially for earth-rock dams on rock foundations, is a technical challenge that needs to be solved urgently.
