ENGINEERING ANALYSIS OF A ROBOTIC CELL OF MACHINE-BUILDING PRODUCTION

The article presents an engineering analysis of a robotic cell. Definitions of CAD/CAM/CAE systems are considered. The main developers of specialized software for engineering analysis are presented, which include: Siemens PLM Software; ANSYS; APM Scientific and Technical Center; TESIS; NUMECA. In modern times, designs and products have evolved at a record pace, and this suggests that their composition has become the most complex and more effective. The engineering analysis of the robotic cell is performed in the consolidated Simcenter 3D platform. The presented platform includes a huge list of CAE applications, which allows meeting modern requirements for the design and improvement of products. The main industries that use software for structural analysis are the aerospace industry, mechanical engineering, medicine, robotics and others. The paper describes the main stages of engineering analysis and what it implies. During preparing for the calculation, a calculation scheme is created and operational loads are determined. The material is also assigned to the main structural elements and guides with carriages. At the end of the engineering analysis, the strength and stiffness coefficients are calculated. The conclusions are generalized that the calculated and experimental data can be used to verify more complex mathematical models.
