Creating Integrated System Between Lifecycle Quality Management and Finite Element Analysis to Improve Typical Turbine Blade Design as a Case Study

Abstract

This article proposes a process to integrate efficiently the Finite Element Analysis in the Quality Life-Cycle Management in order to use the simulation engineering in analyzing and improving the design of one industrial part. In addition, a new flowchart has been created to enter the data resulted from Numerical Analysis using ANSYS code in QLM process for a typical turbine blade (as a case study) to show the practical steps of design validation in digital method. This paper prepares the base to simulate a complex industrial assembly in integrated FEA-QLM process as a future work.
