It is often needed to predict the behavior of structures. With the helpof an FE model, it is possible to see the motion of the structure. Inthis, Master thesis work time domain analyses were carried out on afinite element model representing a window attached by click-ins. Theaim was to establish an FE model which gives a good correlation withtest data. The finite element modelling was carried out in MSC Apex.MSC Nastran was utilised to analyze the FEA model and the resultwas post-processed in Simxpert. Different vibrational tests were made. A crane was used to exciteand support the wall together with the window and the responseswere recorded with tri-axial accelerometers. During the thesis, it wasfound that the FE model requires more work and accurate boundaryconditions to provide better resemblance with the test data.The results deviate from the measured. This opens future possibilities tocarry on the project.

Topologieoptimierte Geometrie wird vom Konstrukteur in einem Format benötigt, das im CAD verwendet werden kann. Die Herausforderung ist, dass man als Optimierungsergebnis eine STL-Geometrie bekommt, doch fürs CAD soll die Oberfläche möglichst glatt und vereinfacht sein. Die Software MSC Apex erzeugt aus einer STL-Geometrie eine echte, geglättete Parasolid-Geometrie. Eine spezielle Form der Topologieoptimierung ist die Topometrieoptimierung, welche die Rippenstruktur auf einem Blech vorschlägt. Auch hierfür ist Geometrierückführung möglich. Auch stark verformte Bauteile, z.B. Gummiteile, kann man als Geometrie im verformten Zustand ans CAD zurückgeben, um zu sehen, wie sie dann in die Baugruppe passen. / Topology optimized geometry must be provided to the designer in a format that can be used in CAD. The challenge is that the optimization result is typically an STL geometry, but for CAD the surface should be as smooth and simplified as possible. The MSC Apex software creates a real, smoothed parasolid geometry from an STL geometry. A special form of topology optimization is topometry optimization, which suggests the rib structure on a sheet. Reverse engineering is also possible for this. Even heavily deformed components, e.g. rubber parts, can be returned to CAD as geometry in the deformed state, to see how they fit into the assembly in this state.
