Translation of geometric models of geodesic shells in a neutral format SAT
Abstract
Translation of geometric models of geodesic shells in a neutral format SAT
Incoming article date: 19.09.2018The description of information exchange methods between CAD and CAE systems is presented. The description of the modular system of design and strength analysis of geodesic shells GeoTran is given. Translation of geometric models from ArchiCAD to Patran/Nastran/Patran has drawbacks. It is proposed to implement the translation of geometric models in a neutral SAT format. Developed a translator geometric models of single-contour geodetic shells from ArchiCAD in SAT format. The translator allows you to automate the exchange of information between the CAD system ArchiCAD and various CAE systems designed for strength analysis.
