  • GEOMETRICAL CALCULATIONS FOR TARGETED LOCAL FEM MESH REFINEMENT IN FINISH TURNING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20230244832
    Abstract: Systems and methods for mesh refinement of finite element analysis simulations employ an analytical modeling program configured to identify a location of contact between two components and a finite element analysis program configured to use the identified location to perform finite element mesh refinement. In this regard, the location of contact (and location of desired mesh refinement) is identified using analytical modeling. Said location of contact is then provided to the finite element analysis program for determining precisely where to perform mesh refinement on the finite element mesh. The finite element analysis program performs a mesh refinement at the exact location of contact between two components to provide for optimized and more efficient finite element analysis.
