Automatic Input Data Generation for ADINA and NASTRAN Structural Computer Codes

摘要

An existing structural finite element code SANX was modified to generate two new programs, ADIGEN and NASGEN. The SANX program is a three-dimensional code designed for approximate structural analysis of cylindrical configurations with deviations from axial symmetry. The input procedure for SANX is relatively simple and is similar to the procedure of two-dimensional axi-symmetric codes. The function of codes ADIGEN and NASGEN is to use the input data for SANX and internally generate input data for general three-dimensional codes ADINA and NASTRAN respectively. Numerical examples are given which illustrate the use of the programs ADIGEN and NASGEN and the resulting saving of effort in developing data for ADINA and NASGEN.
