Abstract
Modern CAD systems are essential in all phases of designing, evaluating and manufacturing mechanical parts. Efficient integration of CAE tools into modern CAD environments results in highly accurate procedures within a short time frame. In this work, a comparative study is presented, based on two novel hybrid methodologies for evaluating and optimising the reconstruction procedure for a 3D beam with an arbitrary cross-section. Both methodologies combine adaptive meshing techniques with quality tools (Taguchi method and response surface methodology), within the boundaries of a modern CAD system for the formation of the boundary element method (BEM) mathematical model. The application of such a methodology as an integrated CAD/CAE tool offers students and inexperienced engineers an excellent overview on the behaviour of structures in various loading and boundary conditions.
