MODERN DEVELOPMENT TENDENCIES IN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS OF PRODUCTS WITH COMPOSITE MATERIAL PARTS ON EXAMPLE OF ANATOLEFLEX OPERATING PRINCIPLES

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to consider the current development trends in the engineering analysis of non-rigid elements on the example of the operating principles of ANATOLEFLEX with assemblies containing the components made of composite materials. The assemblage of assemblies from non-rigid components requires the simulation of complex statistical tasks at different levels of assembly to automate the control and monitoring of gaps. The performed review has allowed to reveal the advantages of the ANATOLEFLEX platform, which allows to take into account the assemblage sequence of typical assemblies, the properties of composite or other types of materials, the type of production process and contact modeling used to build a complete and realistic assembly model. The application results of this solution are represented by the Airbus aircraft assemblies, which employ the analysis of simulation results. It has been found out that the use of the realistic simulation of assembly models such as the analysis of tolerance simulation or calculation of the gap map for shimming up gap process adjustment to a large extent enables automation of the design of the assembly with composite material components.
