Square Pyramid Partial Double Layer of Schwedler Spherical Reticulated Shell Parametric Design and Mechanical Analysis

Abstract

Using ANSYS software comes with parametric design language APDL, developed a square pyramid partial double layer of Schwedler spherical reticulated shell parametric design macro program; achieved this kind of spherical shell parametric modeling with the given shell span S, vector high F, the thickness (height) of the pyramid, ring copies of the symmetric region Kn and radial nodes laps Nx. Analyzed the static performance of the spherical reticulated shell under different structural parameters, studied the displacement of the structure and the distribution of the stress change with macroscopic geometric parameter change rule. Analysis results of eight kinds of conditions showed that the square pyramid partial double layer of Schwedler spherical reticulated shell has good mechanical performance. The result of the analysis provides a theoretical basis for the relevant engineering design.
