Project Title – Development of a simulation standard using engineering methods
Project Description:
Development of a General standard for Finite Element methode simulations of structural problems.
The goal of the project is to develop a general method for the setup of FEM simulation models for structural mechanics problems.
The first step is to develop a generally valid meshing strategy for simulations that can be applied to a specific class of simulation problems. Subsequently, the guideline is to be extended to the numerical simulation parameters such as time step size and/or number of time steps and convergence criteria. Finally, a comprehensive validation of the developed simulation standard must be carried out.
This results in the following work packages:
- Research and classification of representative problems
- Development of a general meshing method for identified problems
- Determination of the optimal numerical parameters (time step size/number, increment size)
- Validation and verification of the simulation standard
The planned FEA software is Ansys 2024.
Knowledge, Skills, and Attributes required:
- FEM, structural mechanics, numerical methods, CAD
Competencies Preferred:
- Background in mechanical engineering
