Automatização no projeto de estruturas de transporte de equipamentos submarinos

Abstract

Transport structures are needed for most submarine equipment used in oil exploration. These structures are relatively simple, but with great responsibility and your project follows certain rules. This paper aims to develop a numerical routine for the automation and optimization of the design of these structures for use in an equipment supplier company for oil exploration. It is intended, thus reducing design time, generate standardization and reduction of manufacturing costs. Automation in transport infrastructure project is done in a program in C language, which performs preliminary calculations and sends the information to a script in Python language. Then this script is run by Abaqus ® software and the result is evaluated by the program in C. On average the program takes 27 minutes to generate a structure. SolidWorks ® software was used only to generate the 3D structures were compared with those structures beam element. Therefore, to meet the structural design in a timely manner, structural reliability and standardization, proposed to automate the design of transport infrastructure from the input parameters. Where these parameters generated information for a C ++ program that performs analysis of different structures by the Finite Element Method (FEM) in Abaqus ® software, selecting the best automatically structure.
