Abstract

A static and dynamic collaborative optimization mode for complex machine system and its ontology project relationship are put forward, on which an agent-based structural static and dynamic collaborative optimization system is constructed as two agent colonies: optimization agent colony and finite element analysis colony. And a two-level solving strategy as well as the necessity and possibility for handing with finite element analysis model in multi-level mode is discussed. Furthermore, the cooperation of all FEA agents for optimal design of complicated structural is studied in detail. Structural static and dynamic collaborative optimization of hydraulic excavator working equimpent is taken as an example to show that the system is reliable.
