Motorcycle crankshaft simulation uses a detailed FE-mesh for structural and fatigue analysis. Due to long time durations for FE meshing, the idea was to establish a process for automated crankshaft meshing in SimLab.
The outcome of the project was a process that is subdivided into four stages that conduct meshing and modelling in a semi-automated manner.
