Analysis system of power tiller's general machine components based on VB and ANSYS

Abstract

Power tiller is one of the most representative agricultural machinery in hilly mountain areas in China. While the design and analysis of the power tiller's components is still using the traditional methods with low efficiency. This paper developed a parametric finite element analysis system of the general machine components of power tiller based on ANSYS APDL and Visual Basic language. The system achieved the functions of ANSYS launching automatically, finite element parametric modeling, structural analysis and results output. The application of this analysis system is expected to shorten the design cycle and improve analysis efficiency and accuracy of the power tiller's general machine components.
