Abstract

Taking the gantry crane as example,this paper introduces the way of parametric modeling and macro file compiling for calculating the equivalent stress of the crane by use of APDL.The results indicate that the method of optimization design with APDL can avoid a great amount of modeling with FEM as well as preprocess and postprocess repeatedly,and can highly improve the design efficiency.
