Customization Research on Collaborative Simulation of the Parts of Truck-Mounted Crane

The base frame of the truck-mounted crane was taken for an example, the collaborative simulation process based on the Pro/E and ANSYS Workbench software was put forward. Firstly, the collaborative scheme based on Pro/E and ANSYS Workbench was made; secondly, the model parametric extraction and the two-way transmission path of parameters between Pro/E and ANSYS Workbench were studied. The interface technology of model’s data was discussed; thirdly, the key technology of the implementation of analytic model was discussed. With the ANSYS Workbench, customization development technology of the collaborative simulation process was studied. Based on the method of customized script components, the support platform of customizing simulation of the base frame was built, which includes part’s simulation menu customized by XML language; simulation procedure controlled by Jscript language; interactive interface and input interface of model parameters and load parameters realized by HTML language. Thus, the parametric modeling and analysis of truck-mounted crane’s key parts were implemented automatically. The customization of collaborative simulation process provides important reference for the customization development of product parts.
