That completes the In-Bore Balloting Analysis, BALANS, tutorial.
Just to review our example, we did the following
- We started with a Prodas model of a projectile. The projectile had been built with the PRODAS model editor. The geometry and material properties were defined. The model had been run though the following Prodas Analyses
- Mass properties to calulate the mass properties of the projectile.
- Baer-Frankle to define the forcing function
- We also started with a Prodas model of the gun tube. The model had been build with the PRODAS model editor. The geometry and material properties were defined. The gun tube had been run through mass properties to verify its design.
- We copied the gun tube model into the projectile model using the PRODAS model editor.
- Within the BALANS form we
- Created a lumped model of the projectile by first auto generating the model and then editing the nodes, regenerating the elements, editing the elements and editing the springs.
- Created a lumped model of the gun tube by first auto generating the model and then editing the nodes, regenerating the elements, editing the elements and hand entering the supports
- Set up the inputs for a single analysis run
- Ran the single analysis and viewed the results.
- Set up the inputs for a statistical analysis run
- Ran the statistical analysis run and viewed the results.
As you can see BALANS is a powerful fully integrated PRODAS tool.
