simulation-based large-opening structure field shape maintenance scheme forward design method, which comprises the following steps of: 1, simplifying a large-opening structure and establishing a high-fidelity
finite element simulation model; deformation of the large-opening structure under the actual working condition is simulated, the elastic deformation degree of the large-opening structure is calculated and evaluated based on the
surface shape variance, and a shape maintaining tool supporting point position is selected according to the elastic deformation degree; 2, designing and optimizing a shape-preserving tool model by considering a deformation factor of a large-opening structure and a shape-preserving tool
volume factor according to a shape-preserving tool supporting point position; 3, installing the shape-preserving tool model into the high-fidelity
finite element simulation model, carrying out large-opening structure deformation
simulation analysis in a shape-preserving state, and calculating a
surface shape variance in the shape-preserving state; 4, selecting a force control shaft at the
tail end of the supporting point position of the shape maintaining tool, designing
simulation to obtain the
contact force of the force control shaft and the
surface shape variance of the supporting point position, and establishing a
mathematical model between the
contact force of the force control shaft and the surface shape variance of the supporting point position; 5, in the field shape maintaining process, the
laser tracker is used for measuring the
position error of the shape maintaining tool supporting point position, the surface shape variance of the shape maintaining tool supporting point position is evaluated, and the
contact force is calculated based on a
mathematical model between the force control shaft contact force and the surface shape variance of the supporting point position.
