Development And Application Of Aluminum Reticulated Spatial Structures Design Program Based On ANSYS

Compared with steel,aluminum alloy material has the advantages such as light weight,resistance to corrosion and easy extrusion process,etc.Due to these advantages,more and more attention was attracted and their applications are getting wider in the field of building engineering,and it is suitable for reticulated spatial structures.The completed projects has shown that aluminum reticulated spatial structures can reduce maintenance cost and achieve aesthetic appearance at the same time.And this ensures the service life of the structure,in order to achieve good economic returns.In this paper,the state of the art of the experimental investigations,theoretical research and design of the aluminum reticulated spatial structures is summarized,and the use of common aluminum reticulated spatial structures design programs are summarized and analyzed.By studying the characteristics of the basic analysis and design theory of the aluminum reticulated spatial structures,and the characteristics of the parametric design language of ANSYS the large general-purpose finite element software,it is proposed for using ANSYS to design and analysis the aluminum reticulated spatial structures.By using the parametric design language of ANSYS,this paper developed a new kind of program.And the parametric modeling,load adding,static analysis,dynamic analysis and structural optimization of various common types of grid and monolayer shells can be achieved at the same time in this program.And this article integrated these functions,improving the efficiency of the program.This article examined the functions of the program by some examples,and it showed the desired results.
