Today's powerful computer-aided engineering (CAE) products have reached ground breaking levels of sophistication when compared with the almost archaic technology used by our predecessors. Engineers are able to develop complex three-dimensional models, or virtual prototypes, using powerful 3D modelling capabilities, and from these models, generate manufacturing drawings, motion analysis models, and even finite element models.

This chapter discusses the simulation of solar photovoltaic thermal modules of planar and concentrator structures in computer-aided design systems KOMPAS 3D and finite element analysis ANSYS. To create photovoltaic thermal modules, a method for designing their three-dimensional models in the computer-aided design system has been developed. To study the thermal regimes of the created three-dimensional models of modules, a method has been developed for visualizing thermal processes, coolant velocity, and flow lines of a cooling agent in a finite element analysis system. As a result of calculations in the finite element analysis system using the developed method, conclusions can be drawn about the feasibility of the design created with its further editing, visualization of thermal fields, and current lines of the radiator cooling agent. As an illustration of the simulation results, a three-dimensional model of a photovoltaic thermal planar roofing panel and an optimized three-dimensional model of a photodetector of a solar concentrator photovoltaic thermal module are presented.

Aided Design

A new analysis strategy for creep forming by coupling computer aided design (CAD), finite element models (FEM) and three-dimensional measuring (3D M) with two new CAD/FEM and CAD/3D M interfaces. From the design product via Bézier curves, the manufacturer is now able to predict and adjust creep forming database (initial form of the sheet, geometry of the skeleton, temperature map in the sheet at the furnace exit and forming time) through CAD and FE modules. A reference rear screen manufacture is optimized using the previous strategy and validated with the experimental data through CAD and 3D M modules.

Abstract For a Computer Aided Design of a concrete truck mixer, a six cubic meter concrete mixer drum is analyzed using the finite element method. The complex mixer drum structure is subjected to pressure loading resulting from the plain concrete inside the drum, in addition to its own weight. The effect of deceleration of the vehicle and the rotational motion of the drum on the reactions and stresses are also considered. Equivalent static loads are used to represent the dynamic loading effects. Three-dimensional shell elements are used to model the drum, and frame elements are used to represent a ring stiffener around the shell. Membrane forces and bending stresses are obtained for different loading conditions. Results are also compared with approximate analysis. The CAD procedure directly used the available drafting and the results were used effectively in the design of the concrete mixer drum.

Recently, studies concerning motorcycle have been an overwhelming area of research interest. As an alternative to the real world assessment, researchers have utilized motorcycle simulator as a workstation to conduct studies in the motorcycle niche area. This paper deal with the development of a new motorcycle simulator named Semi-Interface Motorcycle Simulator (SiMS). Combination of Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software made it possible to design and simulates the motorcycle simulator’s conceptual design before being fabricated. The SiMS setup not only provides a near-to-real and immerse motorcycle riding experience on a super sport motorcycle model, but it also allows safer high speed motorcycle simulations to be conducted in a controlled environment that is portable and ergonomically easier to transport to various venues.
