Abstract.The article provides an overview of software designed to perform the simulation of structures, calculate their states, and respond to the effects of loads applied to any of the points in the model. In this case, we are interested in the possibility of modeling the locomotive chassis frames, with the possibility of determining the weakest points of their construction, determination of the remaining life of the structure. For this purpose, the article presents a developed model for calculating the frame of the diesel locomotive chassis, taking into account technical, economic and other parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
