Automobile collision safety simulation analysis optimization design integrated system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of computer simulation application, in particular to an automobile collision safety simulation analysis optimization design integrated system.
Background
Automobile collision accidents account for a large proportion of traffic accidents and are seriously dangerous to the life safety of drivers and passengers. Related laws and regulations are provided in countries around the world to ensure safety in case of collision of automobiles. Each vendor needs to perform collision simulation and evaluation of the design in order to be able to obtain a good rating at the time of certification. And then carrying out optimization design and then carrying out proofreading again. In the automotive field, the work is performed separately, and a large amount of manual statistics and operation are needed in the middle, so that a large amount of time and energy are consumed. With the intensification of market competition, the core competitiveness of various manufacturers is reflected by rapidly providing the automobiles with high-quality designs. This makes the integration problem of how to accelerate the design of structural and attribute parameters, simulation analysis and optimization design of the automobile become a core technical problem.
The current Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and optimization design method play an important role in the research, development and manufacture of the fields of automobiles, aviation, aerospace, energy sources and the like. In the industrial product design process, initial structural parameters are generally obtained by design; then, the structure is corrected and verified through an analysis method; and then further carrying out a reverse calculation through an optimization method to obtain the optimal structure or attribute parameters. However, because of the development of CAE and the optimization design as independent subjects, simulation analysis and optimization design mainly exist in a mode of independent software operation at present, and data transmission between the simulation analysis and optimization design is mainly completed through text files or independent parameter files. Although part of software or technical solutions such as Isight realizes driving of the simulation analysis program in the optimization design, due to the independence of the simulation analysis program and the optimization design program, driving can only be realized by modifying the input file of the simulation analysis program at present. This is also achieved by external driving, in essence. Another significant problem with this approach is that the results of the calculations cannot be obtained directly and accurately, particularly when the results are not derived from a single variable value, but rather from a complex calculation of multiple variables.
