Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop automated structural design and analysis aided-program of aluminum extrusion carbody structures for railway vehicle. This developed program is called "AUTO-RAP" and could perform simultaneously structural design and verification for railway carbody structures made of aluminum extrusion independent of expertise and experience of design engineers. Design engineers are able to conduct the knowledge-based design by providing database of existing aluminum extrusion or user-defined function. The design verification is automatically programmed to evaluate its structural integrity according to Korean Railway Safety Law or Urban Transit Safety Law. In addition, this program could automatically generate an executable file of various commercial finite element programs such as ANSYS and ABAQUS and CAD files such as .stp and .iges by GUI environment applications using MFC(Microsoft Foundation Classes). In conclusion, it is expected to contribute to reduce product design cost and time of carbody structures aluminum extrusions in railway industry.
