Study of the impact of snow load on the greenhouse frame for growing seedlings with CRS in SolidWorks

The development of computer technology has a significant impact on all spheres of human activity, making his life easier. At the same time, not only the hardware component is being improved, but also the software, including computer-aided design systems that can facilitate the engineer's work not only in developing design documentation, but also in performing time-consuming strength calculations of any complexity. SolidWorks is designed to solve such problems. In addition, the use of specialized structural analysis tools SolidWorks Simulation, SolidWorks Motion and others will significantly lighten the engineer's mental work by eliminating monotonous arithmetic calculations.

The object of study of this scientific work is the frame of a greenhouse for growing seedlings with a closed root system. The subject of the study is the stresses arising in the structure of the greenhouse under the influence of snow load and gravity. The purpose of the study is to substantiate the design parameters of the greenhouse frame for growing seedlings with the closed system based on the analysis of loads and stresses arising in its elements under the influence of the weight of structural elements and snow impacts to ensure the necessary and sufficient strength by the method of solid modeling.

In the process of work, a study of the model of the greenhouse frame for growing seedlings with the closed root system is carried out in order to optimize the design. As a result of the study, the following are determined: maximum stresses arising on the greenhouse framework under the influence of snow load; the most loaded places of the structure. Recommendations for design optimization are given.
