Presently, the highway tunnel finite element(FE) analysis
requires high demand on FE software using ability and professional mechanics
theory of tunnel engineers, the modeling process is complex, and the modeling
time is long. In this study, the characteristics of highway tunnel mechanical
model and its design and construction are analyzed to establish a data
structure for numerical modeling of highway tunnel. Then a fast parametric
modeling platform of highway tunnel is constructed using Python language as
secondary development and UI design tool based on graphics modules including
PyQt5 and Matplotlib. Based on the ABAQUS core computing platform with powerful
secondary development ability, an automatic modeling and analyzing platform
integrates preprocessing, postprocessing, calculation, and analysis of highway
tunnel is developed. Finally, the integrity, practicability, and validity of
the platform are verified through a highway tunnel with threecentered
circle crosssection. The results show that the
proposed platform greatly simplifies the process of numerical simulation in the
analysis of highway tunnel, reducing the modeling difficulty and user cost for
tunnel engineers.
