Computer aided design and simulation analysis for matsune shovel of stubble harvester

At present, three-dimensional parametric CAD technology is used widely in the field of agricultural mechanical design. Based on the analysis of matsune shovel´s structural features for the stubble harvester machine, matsune shovel solid model was drawn by using three-dimensional CAD software Pro/E. Matsune shovel´s static analysis was done by finite element analysis software ANSYS Workbench, and static strain distribution had been known. The results of the analysis can not only provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the structure of matsune shovel and improving the performance, but also reduce the cumbersome design process of the prototype testing and amending, and improved the design efficiency.
