Elements of an Object-Oriented FEM Program for Multibody Systems Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
-The principal objective of this paper is to give elements of the object-oriented architecture of a finite element code dedicated to multibody systems analysis. Emphasis is placed on the adequacy between object-oriented programming and the finite element method used for the treatment of three-dimensional multibody flexible mechanisms with large rotations and large strains. Numerical examples are given in order to demonstrate the software capabilities. Key-Words: Object-oriented programming, Finite element code, Multibody systems analysis

متن کاملAn Integrated Environment for Simulations of Heavy Vehicles Riding over Flexible Bridges
The main object was to perform simulations using a realistic model of a truck and trailer passing over a flexible bridge structure. The bridge structure was simplified to a flat surface modeled using shell finite elements. Tire normal, lateral and longitudinal forces were applied to the bridge. Three driving cases were considered: straight forward driving with and without braking and a lane cha...
