摘要

This paper realized structural analysis of manipulators based on ADAMS/ANSYS. Firstly, software ADAMS was used to realize dynamic simulation of working process. In order to get curves of dynamic parameters of each component simultaneously, it took external loads and equilibrium of reaction forces of each part as checking conditions. Secondly, this research took the information got from ADAMS as boundary conditions of finite element analysis, and then finished precise intensity analysis. Because of concentrating on intensity of manipulators, this paper preserved geometric characteristics of significant components, which result in a great quantity of elements. Consequently integrated analysis required huge computing resources and time, so this paper applied substructure method for analysis. Finally, this paper coupled rigid bodies and flexible bodies to go on with dynamic analysis in ADAMS simultaneously showing stresses distribution, furthermore compared these results with results of static analysis in ANSYS.
Based on different working cases this paper designed experiments to compare the results of analysis, it showed destroyed position was just the position of maximum stress in analysis results, which proved this analysis was right, moreover this analysis supplied technique instructions to realize optimization of dynamic properties of manipulators.
