This invention provides a finite element parametric modeling method for a manned lunar rover's
metal mesh wheel, comprising the following steps: Step S1, providing
model parameters for the woven wheel; Step S2, obtaining the curve parametric equations describing the position and shape of each
metal wire; Step S3, calculating the intersection points between every two
metal wires, and determining the position coordinates of the metal wires in contact state based on their spatial position and
diameter; Step S4, calculating the node information and element information of the finite
element model; Step S5, generating a text-formatted finite
element model file; Step S6, importing the model into finite element calculation
software, setting loads and boundary conditions, and performing calculations. This invention directly generates a finite element mesh based on the geometric characteristics of the metal wires, greatly shortening the modeling time; it achieves parametric finite
element modeling, enabling the generation of new finite element models based on information such as weaving angle, number of metal wires, mesh size, and wheel cross-section, which is highly beneficial for rapid iteration in the wheel
design stage.
