Simulation Acceleration in Non-Standard Container Design

This document is a technical report detailing the simulation acceleration process utilized by Shanghai Universal Logistics Technology Co., Ltd. in the design iteration of non-standard containers. The report outlines the challenges faced by CAE engineers, particularly the inefficiencies associated with traditional design approaches that require rebuilding analysis models for each iteration. It describes how the implementation of BETA CAE's ANSA pre- and post-processing system allows for efficient identification of design changes, seamless updates to models, and automation of connection handling. The report presents a specific approach that includes identifying and separating design changes, pretreating these changes, and automatically updating sets for loads and constraints. The results indicate a significant 70% reduction in simulation preparation time, enabling faster design iterations while maintaining accuracy. This streamlined workflow enhances the overall efficiency of the design process, allowing engineers to focus on optimizing container designs.
