Static Calculation of the Wing of the Bombardier Learjet 35

Learjet 35 (LJ35) — jet administrative aircraft production Learjet Business Class companies (Learjet 35 and Learjet 36 versions) and the US Air Force C-21A military transport aircraft.

The aircraft is equipped with two Garrett TFE731 turbofan engines. The cabin of the aircraft can accommodate 6-8 passengers. In the Learjet 36 version , the aircraft it has a reduced passenger compartment for placement in the tail section fuselage of additional fuel tanks.

The engines are mounted in nacelles on the sides of the rear fuselage. The wings are equipped with single-slit flaps. Wing fuel tanks are located in the wingtips, which distinguishes the design of the aircraft from other aircraft.

Static calculation of laminate shells. The problem is considered by example calculation of the wing of the aircraft together with the fuel tank.

Loading the model

1. Download the model from the link: Download geom_acis.sat. If you cannot download the model, right-click on its name and select Save target as.... Then specify the folder where you want to go. place it.

The file can also be found in the folder C:\Program Files\Fidesys\CAE-Fidesys-9.0\preprocessor\bin\help\fidesys_example_tutorials\TestsFromHelp\models and select the specified model.

2. Import the model. In the top line, select (Menu — FileImport). Specify the path to the geom_acis.sat file. In the window that appears set the import settings:

3. Fuse the surfaces.

On the command bar, select the module for constructing surface geometry (Mode — Geometry, Entity – Surface, Action – Merge).

From the pop-up list, select: Merge.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

4. Merge the curves.

On the command bar, select the module for constructing geometry (Mode — Geometry, Entity – Curve, Action – Merge).

From the pop-up list, select: Merge.

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Meshing

1. Create an automatic generation on the surface of an irregular mesh of quadrilaterals. At the command prompt, type: surface all scheme pave.

2. On the command bar, select the surface mesh module (Mode — Mesh, Entity – Surface, Action – Intervals).

From the pop-up list, select: Automatic Sizing.

Click Apply Size.

Click Mesh.

 

Setting the coordinate system

1. Set a new coordinate system.

On the command bar, select (Mode — Coordinate System, Coordinate System — Create).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

2. Set another coordinate system. On the command bar, select (Mode — Coordinate System, Coordinate System — Create).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

In the entity tree, select Coordinate System. Then check that you have 3 coordinate systems. Click on each one and see where they are are located.

 

Setting the material and properties of blocks

1. Specify the material.

In the command bar, select the module for specifying material properties (Mode — Material, Entity— Materials Management).

In the column "Imported material", double-click on Kevlar.

Click Apply.

Close the Materials management window.

2. Change the material properties.

In the command bar, select the module for specifying material properties (Mode — Material, Entity — Materials Management).

In the column "Material" click on Kevlar.

In the "Properties" column materials"change the value Young's Modulus X = 2e+11.

Click Apply.

3. Change the name of the material.

In the command bar, select the module for specifying material properties (Mode — Material, Entity— Materials Management).

In the "Material" column, double-click on Kevlar. Change name on Carbon fiber unidirectional.

Click Apply.

4. Create a block for the wing.

On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode — Blocks, Entity — Block, Action — Add).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

5. Remove the surfaces belonging to the fuel tank of the aircraft from the block.

On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode — Blocks, Entity — Block, Action — Modify).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

6. Create a block for the fuel tank.

On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode — Blocks, Entity — Block, Action — Add).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

7. Set the parameters for the first block.

On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode — Blocks, Entity — Block, Action — Block properties/parameters).

Set the following parameters:

Set the shell properties, to do this, click on the button .

Set the following options:

Click on the buttonAdd a line and add properties for the second layer. Set shell properties:

Click Apply. Then close the properties.

Click Apply.

8. Set the parameters for the second block.

On the command bar, select the block management module (Mode — Blocks, Entity — Block, Action — Block properties/parameters).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Setting boundary conditions

1. Since the wing of the aircraft is attached to its main part, secure the separation point.

On the command panel, select the boundary conditions module (Mode — Boundary Conditions, Entity — Displacement, Action — Create).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

2. Set the pressure for the lower part of the model.

On the command panel, select the boundary conditions module (Mode — Boundary Conditions, Entity — Pressure, Action — Create).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

3. Set the gravitational force.

On the command panel, select the boundary conditions module (Mode — Boundary Conditions, Entity — Gravity, Action — Create).

Set the following parameters:

Click Apply.

Starting calculation

1. Specify the type of task you want to solve.

On the command bar, select the calculation settings module (Mode — Calculation Settings, Calculation Settings — Static, Static — General).

Select:

On the Command Bar, click Apply and then Start Calculation.

3. In the window that appears, select the directory where the result will be saved

4. In the case of a successful calculation, the console displays the message: Calculation finished successfully at "date" "time".

Results analysis

1. Open the file with the results. There are three ways to do that.

A window will appear FidesysViewer, in which you can read with the results of the calculation.

2. In the upper panel, select the calculation result data to display. From the first drop-down list, select Displacement, from the second – Z.

3. Check the direction of each shell layer separately. In the top row select (Menu — FiltersAlphabetical indexConstruct a vector field).

In the Properties, select:

Click Apply.

On the top bar select Stress (shell layer 1), XX

.

4. Check the direction of each shell layer separately. In the top row select (Menu — FiltersAlphabetical indexConstruct a vector field).

In the Properties, select:

Click Apply.

On the top bar select Stress (shell layer 2), XX

.

5. Apply a filter "Coordinate systems" to display results in the coordinate system of each layer. In the top row select (Menu — FiltersAlphabetical indexCoordinate systems).

In the Properties, select:

Click Apply.

From the first drop-down list, select Stress_СS shell layer 1, from the second – XX.

 

Using Console Interface

Geometry creating, meshing, setting boundary conditions and materials can be performed using the console interface. Below is a link to the program code that allows you to perform the steps described above manual, you only need to specify the full path and name.
