Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of computer-aided engineering technology, and particularly to a method for quickly updating and outputting the overall finite element model information of a box section. Background Art

[0002] In the aviation industry, aircraft design is a highly complex and frequently iterative process. To improve design efficiency and accuracy, finite element analysis (FEA) has become the core means for aircraft structural design and verification. Especially in the early design stage, engineers usually use the global finite element model (GFEM) for simulation analysis and checking. By simplifying the number of model units, GFEM significantly improves the calculation efficiency and provides important support for design optimization and performance evaluation. However, the application of GFEM also faces many challenges. Due to the complex structure of the aircraft, especially large components such as wide-body wings and tails, its GFEM model usually contains tens of thousands of structural units. Each structural unit often requires independent attribute definitions, including material parameters, ply information, section properties, and offset data, etc. In traditional methods, the inspection and update of these attributes mainly rely on manual operations. Engineers need to modify the attributes of each unit one by one, which is not only time-consuming and laborious but also error-prone. For example, manually updating a wing GFEM model with tens of thousands of units may take several days, seriously affecting the efficiency of design iteration. In the prior art, the attribute inspection or update of GFEM information involves many operations. Especially for wide-body aircraft with a large number of structural units, a large number of interactive operations are required for its inspection or update, which takes a lot of time.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention provides a method for quickly updating and outputting the overall finite element model information of a box section to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for quickly updating and outputting the overall finite element model information of a box section. The present invention develops a method for outputting the structural unit information of the upper and lower wing surfaces, front and rear beams, etc. according to the actual structural form, including structural unit ID, structural unit attributes, materials, plies, offsets, and one-dimensional unit types, cross-sectional areas, moduli, lengths, moments of inertia, etc. It also supports outputting all metal and composite material parameter information in the model, which greatly facilitates users to view and check it. And based on the output information, parameters can be quickly specified for each structural unit. According to the parameter information specified by the user, this method can create or update the attributes of the structural unit. For shell elements, the updated content includes structural unit attributes, materials, plies, offsets. For one-dimensional units, the updated content includes unit types, cross-sectional areas, equivalent material parameters, lengths, moments of inertia, etc. This greatly improves the processing efficiency of the GFEM model, especially for large wings and tails of wide-body levels, and can greatly improve the work efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The present invention provides a method for quickly updating and outputting the overall finite element model information of a box section, including the following steps: S1: Construct a material database, a ply database, a cross-section information database, and a specification database; S2: Based on the underlying data, fill in the Excel table according to the format required by the program to provide the input parameters required for model update; S3: Secondary development in HyperMesh. Based on the characteristics of GFEM, obtain the structural units and their information and store them in memory, and through Excel development, output the information to an Excel table; S4: Based on the characteristics of GFEM and the output model information file, make an attribute update template, obtain the unit physical parameters through Excel development, and perform secondary development in HyperMesh.

[0006] In the S1, the material database includes the engineering constants of metals and composite materials. The ply database includes the detailed ply sequences of each number of plies under different ply ratios. The cross-section information database includes the cross-section information of each size under different cross-section forms. The specification database includes the modeling specifications and simulation analysis specifications.

[0007] The engineering constants of the metals and composite materials include elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, shear modulus, and thermal expansion coefficient. The different cross-sections include T, Z, J, hat-shaped, and I-shaped cross-sections. Each type of cross-section contains cross-section parameters of different size information.

[0008] In the above S2, the Excel table is provided with a material parameter filling area, a structural ply parameter filling area, a unit offset parameter filling area, and a section parameter filling area, and each area has clear data format and unit requirements.

[0009] In the above S3, the specific process of outputting the overall finite element model information of the wing box section is as follows: S3.1: Define the structural output direction: Provide an interactive operation interface. Users can successively specify two nodes on the model through this interface to determine the output direction. Operating twice can respectively define the two output directions. S3.2: Specify the structural reference element: Provide an interactive interface, which is mainly used for users to select the positioning elements for output. For the wing surface, they are mainly ribs, front and rear beams, and stringers. For the rib webs, they are mainly transverse and longitudinal bars. S3.3: The program can group and sort the selected positioning reference elements according to the defined direction, and create the corresponding unit set. S3.4: Provide an interface. Users select the two-dimensional or one-dimensional structural elements that need to be output according to the actual structural form. The program automatically judges the intersection of each selected structural element and the reference positioning element, obtains the set number of the positioning reference element intersecting with it, and takes the minimum value combination of the two direction numbers as a two-dimensional array, which is used as the output number of this structural element. S3.5: After obtaining all the numbers, match the two-dimensional array of numbers with the rows and columns of the Excel table, and then output to obtain the actual physical space position mapping table of the structural elements. S3.6: Based on this mapping table, obtain the corresponding information of the structural elements and also output according to the mapping relationship.

[0010] The corresponding information of the above structural elements includes material, thickness, ply, and size information of length and width.

[0011] In the above S4, the specific process of updating the overall finite element model information of the wing box section is as follows: S4.1: Read the structural element information input table, obtain the engineering constant information of metals and composites in the table, and create materials. S4.2: Parse the one-dimensional structural element information table to obtain the finite element model unit ID corresponding to each structural element. S4.3: Obtain the cross-section form of the one-dimensional structural element, and obtain the cross-section parameters in the corresponding cross-section form table. For example, for a T-shaped stringer, obtain the web height, flange width, web ply information, and flange ply information of the T-shaped stringer. Then find the corresponding ply and single-layer material parameters in the ply library and material library, calculate the equivalent material parameters of the cross-section based on the classical laminated plate theory of composites, and be able to obtain the web and flange thicknesses based on the ply information, so as to calculate the cross-section moment of inertia and area information. S4.4: Create cross-section properties based on the calculated cross-section information and match them with the structural elements to complete the attribute assignment of one-dimensional elements; S4.5: Similarly analyze the parameter information of two-dimensional structural elements to obtain information such as the ply information and offset of the structural elements; S4.6: Create two-dimensional attributes and match them with the structural elements to complete the attribute assignment of two-dimensional elements.

[0012] The cross-section equivalent material parameters include equivalent elastic modulus, equivalent Poisson's ratio, and equivalent coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0013] In S4.3, the calculation of the equivalent material parameters is as follows: The specific formula for the stiffness components of a single-layer material is: , where, are the elastic moduli in the fiber direction and the transverse direction; are the principal direction Poisson's ratio and the transverse Poisson's ratio respectively, is the shear modulus; is the stiffness matrix component of the single-layer material; Equivalent engineering constants of the laminate: , where h is the total thickness; is the equivalent elastic modulus; is the Poisson's ratio; is the shear modulus, is the in-plane tensile stiffness of the laminate along the fiber direction; is the in-plane tensile-shear coupling stiffness of the laminate; is the in-plane tensile stiffness of the laminate in the transverse direction.

Users can sequentially specify two nodes on the model through this interface to determine the output direction. Operating twice can define the two output directions respectively; S3.2: Specify the structural reference elements: Provide an interactive interface, which is mainly used for users to select the positioning elements for output. For the wing surface, they are mainly ribs, front and rear beams, and stringers. For the rib webs, they are mainly transverse and longitudinal bars; S3.3: The program can group and sort the selected positioning reference elements according to the defined direction and create the corresponding element set; S3.4: Provide an interface. Users select the two-dimensional or one-dimensional structural elements that need to be output according to the actual structural form. The program automatically judges the intersection of each selected structural element and the reference positioning element, obtains the set number of the positioning reference element intersecting with it, and takes the minimum value combination of the two direction numbers as a two-dimensional array, which is used as the output number of the structural element; S3.5: After obtaining all the numbers, match the two-dimensional array of numbers with the rows and columns of the Excel table, and then output to obtain the actual physical space position mapping table of the structural elements; S3.6: Based on this mapping table, obtain the corresponding information of the structural elements and also output according to the mapping relationship; The corresponding information of the structural elements includes material, thickness, ply, and size information of length and width; The specific process of updating the overall finite element model information of the wing box section in S4 is as follows: S4.1: Read the structural element information input table, obtain the engineering constant information of metals and composite materials in the table, and create materials; S4.2: Parse the one-dimensional structural element information table to obtain the finite element model element ID corresponding to each structural element; S4.3: Obtain the cross-section form of the one-dimensional structural element, and obtain the cross-section parameters in the corresponding cross-section form table. For example, for a T-shaped stringer, obtain the web height, flange width, web ply information, and flange ply information of the T-shaped stringer, and then find the corresponding ply and single-layer material parameters in the ply database and material database and calculate the equivalent material parameters of the cross-section based on the classical laminate theory of composite materials. And be able to obtain the web and flange thicknesses based on the ply information, so as to calculate the cross-section moment of inertia and area information; S4.4: Create cross-section attributes according to the calculated cross-section information and match them with the structural elements to complete the attribute assignment of the one-dimensional elements; S4.5: Similarly analyze the parameter information of the two-dimensional structural unit to obtain the ply information and offset information of the structural unit; S4.6: Create two-dimensional attributes and match them with the structural unit to complete the assignment of two-dimensional unit attributes.
