Abstract

This paper presents an application of grid-enabled computing technologies in the field of engineering design optimization using finite element method (FEM). Three essential elements in FEM-based structure optimization problems (CAD modeling, mesh and solution, and optimization) are integrated and automated with grid-enabled computation environment, dataset toolkits which is now being developed collect metadata to build a group level to describe the analysis tasks of the whole engineering problem, it allows access to remote computational resources and executing analysis tasks. A FEM-based optimization is exposed to remote users and is applied to help FEM-based excavator working equipment analysis. A case running in this environment is shown in the end to validate design results
