Generate Mesh Choose mesh size depending on wing size. Typically 100 elements spanwise (Half-Span/100). Generate meshes. If mesh size > 5 Mb, increase mesh size.

30 VSP SAM Import VSP Mesh Set directory for VSP Mesh Files. You can choose either calculix_geom or calculix_thick file. 1 2 NOTE: having spaces in the directory path will result in crash. 1 3 Open Set the directory of the CalculiX folder (use default with typical installation) 2 Save 3 Open GUI inputs from previous session or Save GUI inputs for future sessions 3
31 VSP SAM Sign Conventions Z Origin is always at wing Apex and parallel to the VSP coordinate system.

32 Build A6E VSP Model VSP SAM Version 1
33 VSP SAM Version 1 Features: Skin Trim Feature Load Spar Approximations Boundary Condition Separate FEM Models Special Case: Zero Node Thickness Stress Convergence and Node Sizing Mass Calculation
34 VSP SAM Skin Trim Feature Remove non-load carrying skin panels which can be fabric sections of the skin, landing gear hatches, etc. Skin trim must be defined by Inboard/Outboard rib and Forward/Aft spar
35 VSP SAM Load Spar Approximations Planform Shape, Elliptical and Schrenk s Approximations: Schrenk s Load distribution is equivalent to average of elliptical load distribution and the actual planform shape distribution of the wing.
36 VSP SAM Boundary Condition Rib 0 is fixed from translation in the x,y and z axis as shown in the CalculiX results file. As a result, this particular wing structure is a cantilever beam with Rib 0 as the stationary plane. Any Rib can be defined as a fixed rib such as a Body Rib as shown in the figure below. Rib 0 Body Rib
37 VSP SAM Separate FEM Models Version 0 contains Single FEM model results from original VSP s output files When node thickness is resized to meet user defined DNS objective, different node thickness requirements at intersections distort elements which results in CalculiX error Version 1 Splits FEM into separate Skin, Rib, and Spar FEM models using Rigid Body Elements to make connections at rib-skin, spar-skin, and rib-spar intersections Thicker elements at ribskin, spar-skin, and rib-spar intersections
38 VSP SAM Special Case: Zero Node Thickness Set of vertical nodes from a spar, with the horizontal lines representing the thickness of each node and the Red Arrow represents the force applied to this set Thickness of some nodes approaches at nearly zero after convergence Solution: Apply average thickness of the adjacent nodes to the affected node z y Before After NOTE: Set of nodes from a spar is only used as an example, The same method applies to any affected node within the FEM model
39 Summary of theory and method used to back out required Nodal thicknesses VSP SAM Stress Convergence and Node Sizing Background Part of the objective of the project is to be able to determine the optimized thickness of each part of the wing for a given working stress. This backing out the thicknesses aims to do that. The procedure used by our team and the theory behind it is described. Theory We begin with an arbitrary 3D element as shown below: 1 and Thickness 1 corresponds to each node Thickness t i = ( / DNS ) t i The blue plane represents a plane lying in one of the 3 principal axes, showing that the element can be arbitrarily oriented. We can then describe the stress acting on this plane as follows: We know seek to find the required thickness for a given working stress as defined by the user: Solving equation (1) for the force, and plugging into equation (2) it can be shown that we get: By using the max principal stress in any given element for we can ensure that the element is sized for the worst case scenario. This is the theory behind the procedure used.
