Abstract: In order to solve the inefficient problem about the finite element modeling of drive axle housing, by combining the parametric modeling function of Pro_E with the finite element analysis function of ABAQUS and considering the influence of punching process and welding process, the parametric finite element analysis process and the model of drive axle housing were built based on the multidisciplinary design optimization software Isight. This method effectively solves the problems of model description, parameter driving and automatic updating in the process of parametric finite element analysis of complex structures. It not only provides a new solution to similar problems, but also provides an effective tool for the reliability prediction and evaluation of drive axle housing. The results demonstrated that the proposed method is reasonable and feasible.
