This work introduces a cost modelling architecture in order to determine the cost-effectiveness of the latest joining technology developments. Riveting is the conventional joining method in the aerospace industry, but is a time-consuming, expensive p

Generating fit-for-purpose CAE models from complex CAD assemblies is time consuming and error-prone. Tedious tasks include identifying and isolating the components of interest, removing duplicate components, and correcting inconsistent component inte

This paper describes an automatic method for identifying thin-sheet regions (regions with large lateral dimensions relative to the thickness) for complex thin-walled components, with a view to using this information to guide the hexahedral (hex) mesh

Quasi-axisymmetric structural components are very common in any mechanical equipment containing rotating components, such as turbo machinery. Identifying and exploiting symmetric properties in these components is key to simplify the creation of FE vo

An equivalent non-manifold cellular model is used to enrich manifold decompositions of a CAD model to create a model suitable for finite element analysis. Thin-sheet and long-slender decomposition tools are integrated around the common data structure
