  • Method for transferring a stress state (stress sensor) of an FE simulation result to a new FE mesh geometry of a modeled construction system in a simulation chain of production operations
    Patent number: 11663380
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for transferring a stress state of an FE simulation result to a new FE mesh geometry of a simulated construction system, such as a component for motor vehicles that has a 3-D shape, in a simulation chain of production operations, comprising: a) providing a first data set, which describes the FE simulation result with a stress state of the FE simulation of the construction system or component of a first production operation, b) creating the new FE mesh geometry of the simulated construction system or component, which new FE mesh geometry is associated with a second production operation, c) transferring the stress state of the provided first data set to the new FE mesh geometry of the construction system or component, d) performing an equilibrium calculation by using the stress tensor in the FE mesh geometry, wherein deformation of the construction system or component results, which deformation differs from the deformation in the FE mesh by a shape alteration u>tolerance val
