Abstract
Airframe assembly modeling is a complex problem that includes computations for large-scale compliant parts, variation analysis, optimization of fastening procedures and many other problems that occur in manufacturing process. At the same time the majority of these problems involve solving similar contact problems. It is often the most time-consuming part of computations needed to determine stress state of the assembled parts for further analysis. To overcome the problem and provide computations for serial production in reasonable time a special parallel software package called ASRP (Assembly Simulation of Riveting Process) was developed. The paper is devoted to the description of the software, problems and approach that combines variation simulation and HPC for aircraft assembly simulation. The main focus of this work is made on the analysis of temporary fastener patterns used during assembly. To demonstrate the efficiency of high-performance computing, we provide several industrial examples of the analysis for the fastening patterns in aircraft assembly processes.
