Challenges for Enterprise Product R & D

Accelerate product innovation and maintain competitive advantage

Enterprises continue to develop new products and improve the pace of products, and accelerate time to market, improve quality, meet the standards and reduce the design and manufacturing costs and so on. The need for new product development is obvious: the need for new development process to significantly improve product innovation and market share.

MSC.Nastran has a variety of methods for solving complete flow-solid coupling analysis problems, including:

  • Flow-solid coupling method: The flow-solid coupling method is widely used in the field of acoustic and noise control, such as engine noise control, car cabin and aircraft cabin within the sound field distribution control and research, NVH and so on. In the analysis process, dynamic response analysis is carried out by direct and modal methods.

In addition, MSC.Nastran new addition (noise) acoustic block unit and absorption unit for the analysis of this problem has brought great convenience. (Noise) The acoustic load is described by the pressure of the node, either as a constant or as a function of frequency or time, or as a function of the acoustic volume, flux, flow rate, or power spectral density. The results of noise effects from different structural parts can be output separately. For the wide frequency range, the larger model of the sound field analysis can be easily combined with MSC.Nastran ACMS method, while the use of domain parallel computing technology, ultra-unit technology, greatly improve the accuracy and efficiency of the calculation.

  • Water Elastic Fluid Element Method: This method is usually used to solve extensive fluid problems with structural interface, compressibility and gravity effects. The hydroelastic fluid element method can be used for standard modal analysis, transient analysis, complex eigenvalue analysis and frequency response analysis. When the fluid acts on the structure, it is necessary to point out the fluid nodes and the corresponding structural nodes at the coupling interface. The degree of freedom is the displacement and the corner in the structural model, while in the fluid model the Fourier coefficient of the pressure function is adjusted in the axisymmetric coordinate system. Similar to structural analysis, the fluid model produces "stiffness" and "mass" matrices, but with different physical meanings. Load, constraint, node ordering, or degree of freedom condensation can not be used directly on a fluid node.

  • Virtual mass method, virtual mass method is only considered the impact of fluid quality on the structure, mainly for the following flow - solid coupling problem analysis:

(A)The structure is immersed in an infinite or semi-infinite liquid with a free liquid surface

(B)The container contains an incompressible liquid with a free liquid surface

(C)The combination of the above two cases, such as the ship in the water and the cabin is not filled with liquid

8.Multi-level supercell analysis

Supercell analysis is a very effective means of solving large problems, especially when engineers intend to make local modifications and re-analysis of existing structural parts. The super-unit analysis is mainly through the analysis of the whole structure into many small sub-components, that is, the structure of the characteristic matrix (stiffness, conductivity, mass, specific heat, damping, etc.) compressed into a group of main degrees of freedom similar to the substructure method , But has a stronger function and is easier to use than it is. Sub-structure can make the problem simple to say, the calculation efficiency is improved, the computer's storage capacity is reduced. The super-unit analysis adds repetition and mirror mapping and multi-layer sub-structure functions on the basis of the substructure. It can be used not only separately but also mixed with the whole model. The nonlinear and linear partial processing in the structure can reduce the nonlinearity The size of the problem. Application of super-unit engineers only need to re-calculate the affected super-unit parts, so that the analysis process more economical and more efficient, to avoid the overall model of the changes and the entire structure of the recalculation. MSC.Nastran excellent multi-level ultra-unit analysis function in the large-scale international cooperation projects have been widely used, such as aircraft engines, nose, body, wing, vertical tail, door, etc. in the final assembly factory can be different Regional and different countries are designed and produced separately, where each project subcontractor can not only use the super-unit function to carry out a variety of structural analysis independently, and through data communication in a certain use of modal synthesis technology through the computer simulation of the entire aircraft Structural characteristics.

MSC.Nastran provides different algorithms for different features such as symmetry, antisymmetry, axisymmetry, or cyclic symmetry of the structure. Advanced symmetric analysis can greatly compress the size of large-scale structural analysis problems and improve computational efficiency.

Many structures, including rotating machinery and even radar antennas in space, are often composed of specific structural parts arranged cyclically and cyclically cyclically around a certain axis. For such structures it is often necessary to use cyclic symmetry or rotational symmetry Method for structural analysis. In the analysis only need to select a specific structural parts to obtain the entire component structure of the calculation results, can reduce the calculation and modeling time. Circular symmetry can be divided into two kinds of symmetric types, namely simple cyclic symmetry and cyclic symmetry. In a simple rotational symmetry, the symmetric structure has no plane mirror symmetry plane and the boundary can have a bidirectional curved surface. In the symmetrical symmetry, each symmetric structure has a plane mirror symmetry plane, and the boundary between the symmetrical structures is a plane. Cyclic symmetry analysis usually solves the problems of linear static, modal, buckling and frequency response analysis.
