Abstract

In this paper, a software framework that integrates computational and experimental simulation has been developed to simulate and test a large-scale structural system under earthquake loading. The proposed software framework does not need development of the computer codes for both dynamic and static simulations. Any general-purpose software can be utilized with a main control module and interface APIs. This opens up a new opportunity to facilitate use of sophisticated finite elements into hybrid simulation regime to enhance accuracy and efficiency of simulations. The software framework described in the paper is modular and uses object oriented programming concepts. A series of illustrative examples demonstrate that the system is fully-functional and is capable of running any number of experimental and/or analytical components.

본 논문에서는 지진하중하의 대형구조물의 시뮬레이션을 위해 실험과 해석을 병합한 분산공유 하이브리드 해석 및 실험소프트웨어 framework를 개발하였다. 제안된 소프트웨어 framework은 별도의 동적 그리고 정적 해석을 위한 프로그램의 개발이 필요 없기 때문에 일반 범용 유한요소해석 프로그램을 개발된 해석 및 실험 제어 프로그램과 interface API를 이용하여 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서 개발된 소프트웨어 framework은 독자적 기능을 가진 module로 구성이 되어 있을 뿐만 아니라 개체지향형 프로그램 개념을 바탕으로 개발되었다. 예제를 통하여 개발된 시스템의 기능과 분산공유하이브리드 해석 및 실험에서의 유용성을 증명하였다.
