Rigid body dynamics analysis in design of cantilever beam of entertainment equipment based on SolidWorks-Motion

The structure design that only by traditional statics calculating procedure for large amusement equipment is not accurate. It must be combined with the kinetic parameters to find the most dangerous working conditions, and then make optimization design for meet safety standards. This paper is studied by taking “self-control plane” amusement equipment cantilever beam as the research object, using the rigid body dynamics analysis function of SolidWorks - Motion based on virtual prototype technology. The simulation analysis for the performance of the rigid body dynamics were carried out on the three different working conditions in the process of equipment operation, which achieved by the dynamic analysis model, the forms of motion and load setting in SolidWorks. The stress curve of key parts of cantilever beam were got under different working conditions, and its maximum loads were found out at direction of X,Y,Z. The simulation results showed that its maximum stress location was the joint of the hydraulic cylinder and cantilever beam. The study would offer necessary data guidance for beam structure refinement design basis and provide theoretical and technological support for design of relative cantilever beam.
