Standard input data for FEM-MBS coupling: Importing alternative model reduction methods into SIMPACK. (English) Zbl 1156.93324
Summary: Various research areas in the field of vehicle modelling, structural mechanics, engine dynamics, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), etc. require the utilization of both multibody system formalism (MBS) and finite element method (FEM) in order to sufficiently capture the model’s dynamics. The FEM-MBS coupling is accomplished by reducing the dimension of the FE-modelled part and then importing it into an MBS-code for further simulation. When using commercial FEM (Nastran, ANSYS, etc.) as well as MBS (SIMPACK) software packages the necessary standard input data (SID) file is needed for the coupling procedure (FEMBS interface). A problem arises by the restriction that both commercial FEM and MBS codes support only two condensation methods (Guyan reduction and component mode synthesis (CMS)), thus disabling the direct application of any other reduction approach (e.g. from the field of control theory) that actually could be better. In this article, the theoretical background of an implemented FEM-MBS interface (MORPACK) is presented allowing the application of any kind of reduction method for FE-modelled structures and furthermore their import (Ritz approximation) into SIMPACK via the SID file generation. A benchmark problem (UIC60-rail) is used in order to capture in SIMPACK the discrepancy between the standardized CMS and the Krylov subspace method (KSM), as one of the alternatives offered by the interface.
