Abstract

FEM Simulation is widely used in engineering practice. The use in small and medium-sized companies is partially limited due to the high workload and the time required for the simulation calculations. In recent years, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly adopted, emerging as an exciting and promising area of research. This article presents a methodology for the implementation of artificial intelligence in the simulation process of a part and an assembly. This methodology includes phases to integrate AI into the CAD model preparation process, as well as the definition of contact conditions, fixtured reactions, and external forces. Artificial intelligence can process a large volume of previous calculations, allowing it to analyse and automate these preparation steps AND thus increase the accuracy of simulations.
