Abstract
The slug rivet installation process is complex. A lot of parameters are included during the riveting deformation process. The workload and time cost of a traditional simulation study is very high since a traditional numerical model should be modified manually time by time when riveting parameters change. The data processing after simulation is another complex work. To improve the situation, this paper presents a parameterized modeling method. The modeling process and data processing algorithm can be developed using Python script. The parameterized model can automatically and continuously re-build without any manual intervention according to the riveting parameter auto-update condition. The post-processing analysis can be automatically conducted and saved as well. Then this paper conducts continuous analysis to illustrate the impact of riveting parameters on riveting quality. The parameterized model keeps running 41 times until the riveting parameter is out of range. The parameterized modeling method is a useful method for a simulation study. The study will pave the way for further investigations.
