Coupling analysis method for a large-scale structure exposed to synchronous hoisting loads

摘要

Large-scale synchronous hoisting equipment is widely used in the construction field. A coupling analysis method for global and local structures exposed to synchronous hoisting loads under working conditions is presented. An integrated analysis flow based on virtual prototyping is provided for the coupling analysis process with different design and simulation software tools, which includes project design, CAD and CAE model-building and interchange, data coupling and analysis. The theoretical basis of finite element analysis for synchronous hoisting loads is deduced. A practical case of the coupling analysis for a large-scale structure exposed to synchronous hoisting loads is studied and validated. The coupling analysis method can well improve the analysis level and efficiency to predict the mechanical effects in an operating situation.
