Cranes are one of the most commonly used lifting equipment, requiring periodic safety assessments to prevent potential incidents. However, current software applications utilize traditional finite element methods, leading to time-consuming simulation computations. There is a lack of optimized simulation computation methods for cranes, especially for crane beam systems. This paper introduces an alternative safety assessment method for cranes, beyond conventional CAE analysis, which is the method of combining Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Boundary Element Analysis (BEA) techniques using Altair SimSolid software to reduce the preprocessing time for simulation models. The paper analyzes the crane beam model on two popular softwares, NX Simcenter 3D and Altair Simsolid, to evaluate the safety of the crane, compare the calculation time and results of the two software, thereby providing recommendations for selecting simulation software achieve reduced simulation computation time compared to traditional Finite Element Methods and conventional meshing approaches.
