Abstract:
A system for optimally designing automobile door seals, comprising:data storage means consisting of a plurality of storage units, each of said storage units having data necessary for each condition; data management means consisting of a plurality of mode selection units for selecting a mode from the data storage means according to the characteristics of a door seal to be developed; and model design means for designing a complete door seal by imposing a variety of conditions on a model selected from the data management means and performing various tests, wherein said model design means comprises pre-processing means for testing the test model selected from the data management means using basic and fundamental application conditions, and wherein said pre-processing means comprises an initial condition setting unit and a test model setting unit, said initial condition setting unit consisting of a plurality of condition units for imposing various conditions concerning the mode and application of a model on the model to be designed, and said test model setting unit selecting a test model on which initial conditions are imposed by said initial condition setting unit, and if all conditions are not set for the test model, setting conditions for performing the interpretation of various deformations of the test model and interpreting changes according to the thickness variable of the door seal on the basis of the interpretation results, wherein the thickness of weak portions of the door seal and portions desired to be deformed is increased and decreased, and variations in deformation and stress with regard to the portions of the door seal due to the variation in the thickness of the door seal are known.
