C011002 A Possibility of Various Open-CAE for Structural Analysis

Abstract

In the current manufacturing industry, rather than a numerical analysis tool that corresponds to the complex and a wide range of conditions for the analysis expert, design verification tools that can calculator manner easily use in the design process is sought. Based on a 3D CAD system, the designer tool with additional analysis functions have been proposed. However, these tools also be necessary to considerable initial cost and, such as being restricted to the analysis function, and various problems have been pointed out. So the attention has been paid is "Open CAE". Open CAE system configured in open source, realizes the analysis function approaching a standard commercial CAE without requiring deployment costs. The success stories of open CAE has been reported a number of achievements gathered great interest in OpenFOAM, but it is limited to structural analysis and fracture analysis by the Open CAE In this report, the summary of the outlook and the current situation, the reference for future efforts it is intended to become an information.
