Abstract:
A spring design method is disclosed. The method begins with inputting a first set of design parameters for a spring. The design parameters include a parameter that provides an estimate of non-linearity in the spring. The spring design method determines a spring design based on the first set of design parameters. A spring design and analysis method is disclosed. The method begins with creating a spring design. The spring design includes a parameter that provides an estimate of non-linearity in the spring design. The spring design and analysis method creates a spring animation file that enables stress levels in a spring design to be identified at the coil level. The spring design method next identifies the coil in the spring design having the lowest dynamic fatigue factor and determines whether the lowest dynamic fatigue factor is acceptable.
