APM FEM

description

APM FEM is a strength analysis module designed to work with the CAD software system KOMPAS-3D. The main goal of the module is to help engineer to make reasonable design decisions using 3D models calculations. This undoubtedly improves the quality and saves time spent on product development, and therefore makes it competitive!

Typical objects for calculation are small in terms of the overall dimensions and wall thickness of the part and assembly: thrust, lugs, stops, brackets, angles, levers, body parts, support elements, etc. For such parts and assemblies, it is important to quickly evaluate the strength of the elements with possible optimization of the structure using the associative connection of the geometric and computational models.

The main steps in the calculation:

  • preparation of 3D-models for the strength calculation (simplified geometry);
  • setting of boundary conditions (load, support);
  • mesh generation;
  • viewing the results (stress, displacements, safety factors, etc.);
  • calculation process;
  • view the results and analyze the values ​​of the main design characteristics (voltages, safety factors, displacements, etc.);
  • modification of the model according to the results of the calculations (change of the geometry / material);
  • repeated computational analysis to confirm the performance of the product.

Additional functionalities (options) are available for the product:

  • calculation of surface models (shells) allows the calculation of surface models created in KOMPAS-3D;
  • topological optimization allows you to calculate the design to determine the optimal distribution of the material to improve the mass-stiffness characteristics of the product.
