Further Development of ANSYS and its Application in Cold Region Tunnels

Abstract

In order to make the application of FEM software ANSYS in numerical analysis of tunnels in cold region more convenient and simple, the further-development of ANSYS was conducted on the basis of brief introduction to three kinds of further-development tools, and the methods of menu chinesization and establishing new menu were proposed. Then the dedicated modules for parameterization tunnel model and automatic calculation of insulation thickness had been established, which providing a convenient calculation method for engineering design. Finally, the applications of specific cases show that it has well practicability.
