Abstract

Up to now the consideration of forces between flexible, moved structures, e.g., linear guides on base frame components, depending on different workspace positions wasn’t possible in multi-body simulation. Thereby neither the representation of the complete mechanical behavior nor the optimization of the frame structure depending on different workspace positions is possible. In the context of the Priority Program 1099 of the German Research Foundation “Production Machines with Parallel Kinematics”, methods have been developed, which enable the transmission of forces between flexible bodies multi-body simulation. The existing, flexible MBS-model of the coupler kinematics “Genius 500” is extended by a flexible frame structure and the total deformation is analyzed. Furthermore the present frame structure is replaced by a design space for topology optimization in different workspace positions.
