Verwendung kinematischer Ketten bei der Generierung von Finite-Elemente-Modellen

Abstract

This article describes a modelling method which was developed at the Institute of Material Handling, Material Flow, Logistics at the Technical University of Munich. This method allows for the representation of finite element models in the form of kinematic structures. The complete model consists of a series of single FE sub-models which are connected by links. By changing just a few parameters the spatial arrangement of these sub-models can be altered and the different operating states of real machines can be represented by a single model. Thanks to this the expense for modelling, calculating and evaluating such systems can be reduced considerably.
