Case Study of Product Development through Generative Design according to Anemometer Replacement Cycles

Abstract

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) systems are commonly used to manage various product data generated throughout the product lifecycle. This paper explains the results obtained by multiple participants using commercial software within the PLM environment to perform structural and vibration analyses of an Anemometer. Generative design techniques were employed for 3D CAD modeling of the Anemometer, and the commercial analysis software NASTRAN was used for simulation analyses. The open-source PLM system ARAS Innovator's project and workflow management modules were utilized to manage the generated design data, allocate tasks among participants, and control schedules. Through this approach, we propose a method to predict and manage the replacement cycle of Anemometer.
