First Order Analysis (FOA) Using Microsoft Excel Link to ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL)

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to define the alternative method of designing stage by applying First Order Analysis method of structure to obtain close to right design quickly to provide an overview of structure performance of general mechanical system, utilizing the Microsoft Excel as the interface of structure which conclude macro language and illusion of structure vehicle part to be change , link to ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) software as macro language allowing the structure to generate as request designer of the structure.
Involved in this study is the structure of vehicle four by four-part variable change as command.
