    This document discusses the optimization of a steel structure through modifying grid and purlin spacing. A finite element model of the structure was created in ANSYS with beam elements using the appropriate cross sections. A design of experiments was conducted by varying the grid and purlin spacing between 750-5000mm. The objective was to maximize spacing to reduce material usage while minimizing deformation. Optimization identified spacing of 750*750, 750*1100, and 750*1700mm as optimal designs. Further optimization could modify additional structural elements or use topology optimization.

    Modelling
    • Our geometry has been modelled in SpaceClaim design modeller of
    ANSYS
    • All structures are modelled as beam elements with the respective
    cross sections
    • We have taken additional help of scripting so as to parametrise our
    model so it can be automated for the further optimisation
    • All units are in mm
    Mechanical Model
    • Material:- Structural Steel
    • Mesh:-Default [Coarse]
    • Topology: Shared
    Boundary Conditions
    • We will apply fixed support at the end of the columns
    • We will apply load at the vertices of each module i.e at the
    connection point of purlin ,grid and truss members
    • Load conditions=22.5 kg/msq
    • Total load=22.5*Area*9.81 N
    =22.5*[13.25*36.02]*9.81
    =105344.3117 N
    • Inertia effect due to gravity
    Fixed support
    Loading
    At the vertices of each grid
    Results A: Direct Stress
    Result B: Deformation
    Optimisation
    • We will carry our design optimisation by optimising the input
    parameters [ i.e. grid and purlin spacing ] and output parameters
    [deformation]
    • Purlin spacing =P mm and Grid spacing =G mm
    • We will start with P and G from P=G=2000mm
    • We will bound our optimisation region between spacing of 750 mm to
    5000 mm
    DOE [Design of Experiment]
    • So the DOE is carried out with 9 Design Points
    • For each combination of grid and purlin spacing we calculate the total
    maximum deformation
    Objective and conditions
    • As our objective is to reduce material , we have to maximise our grid
    and purlin spacing
    • That means as our spacing is increasing the no of grid and purlin
    members would reduce and overall our weight of structure will
    reduce
    Objective and Constraints
    • Objective= Reduction in weight of structure modifying the spacing
    between grid and purlin structure members
    • Constraints
    • Maximise : P and G
    • Minimise Deformation
    Optimisation
    • Optimisation is carried out in ANSYS Workbench using the Surface
    Response Optimisation Module
    • For this module DOE is given in as input
    • After surface response study done from the DOE table , we have to
    mention our objectives and constraints over the parameter
    Candidate Points
    Optimisation
    • Possible grid for design optimality
    • A] 750*750
    • B]750*1100
    • C]750*1700

    • This grid sizes are optimised for our design


    Scope
    • In addition to optimisation of grid and purlin spacing we can improve
    design by
    • A] Complete optimisation of structure i.e. [by optimising truss column
    and inter truss]
    • B]Optimisation using various combination of hollow sections
    • C] We have carried out structural optimisation which allows very little
    or no modification in the shape of element or basic structural
    elements. To additionally save the material and reduce the stresses
    we can carry out topology optimisation
