Design Optimization of Actuators Using ANSYS
نویسنده
چکیده
Research and development on actuators has been accelerated with the aid of virtual prototyping software, like ANSYS. This is illustrated with two successful cases using ANSYS to design and optimize micro-electromechanical actuators. The first case is topology optimization of head suspension assembly for hard disk drive. The second case is design optimization of polymeric thermal micro-actuator. Both cases shows that virtual prototyping makes design optimization possible before real prototyping. It therefore increases the chance of successful product development as well as design innovation.

متن کاملSimulation & Optimization for the Gear System of a 6-DOF Manipulator Using Flexible Dynamic of ANSYS
This paper presents a novel way for a structural dynamic simulation analysis on a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) model of a 6-DOF Manipulator using ANSYS Workbench 13.0 that allows integrated optimization. The load between driving and driven gear is delivered by elastic frictional contact, which leads to some non-liner contact problems, and the contact problems are solved according...
