Due to the large size of aircraft fuselage structure, such as the rear nozzle, wing, fuselage, etc., and the complex internal structure, the current fluid-heat-solid analysis of the fuselage structure usually firstly conducts external flow field analysis based on the structure shape and flight profile by aerodynamic professionals to obtain the adiabatic wall temperature and isothermal wall heat flux on the structure surface, and then the structural professionals conduct convective boundary conversion on the structure based on the upstream heat load, and complete transient thermal analysis. Finally, the transient thermal analysis results are used as boundary input to conduct force field analysis, including static analysis, vibration characteristics analysis, etc. This analysis method has the following defects:

[0003] 1) The calculation of thermal load by aerodynamic professionals did not take into account the influence of the internal structure and ignored the heat sink of the structure, resulting in a high thermal load input;

[0033] Step 1: Establish the geometric model of the body structure.

[0034] Specifically, CATIA can be used to establish the body structure geometric model.

[0035] Step 2: Perform aerodynamic meshing on the airframe structure geometry model, and complete the structural meshing simultaneously during the process of establishing the external thermal flow field of the airframe structure.

[0036] Specifically, ICEM can be used to perform aerodynamic meshing on the airframe structure geometric model, establish the external thermal flow field of the airframe structure, and perform structural meshing.

[0037] Step 3: Perform flow field analysis on the body structure, and complete external temperature field analysis and internal heat transfer analysis based on external thermal flow field boundary conditions.

[0038] Specifically, FLUENT can be used to perform flow field analysis on the airframe structure, and the external thermal flow field of the airframe structure can be used as the boundary condition to complete the external temperature field analysis and internal heat transfer analysis to obtain the thermal load.

[0039] Step 4: Divide the airframe structure geometry model into a separate structural grid and map the flow field analysis thermal load onto the structural grid.

[0040] Specifically, Hyperworks can be used to divide the body structure geometry model into a separate structural grid. This structural grid is a surface grid, which is different from the solid grid used for flow field analysis. The thermal load of the flow field analysis is then mapped to the structural grid.
