Analyzing the Static Behavior of a Bogie Frame by Comparing Two Methods of Simulations

Article Preview

Abstract:

The bogie frame, which is used on LDE 060-DA locomotives, will be the subject of this paper. The method of analyzing its static behavior includes two static structural simulations. The first simulation is performed with SolidWorks while the second one is performed with Ansys. The simulations steps and the related assumptions will be explained in details. Finally the two sets of results gained from both simulations are compared to draw out final conclusions.
