It provides users with both parametric and freehand methods to create and edit 3D conceptual models with different levels of complexity in a VR environment intuitively without the need of switching between the VR environment and CAD tools. As a simple and low-cost VR-CAD system, WVCD can help to popularize and improve the Web-based collaborative conceptual design.展开更多

Because scheme design has close relationship with product structure, performance and technology cost, it is important for applying the intelligent CAD of scheme design to improve the quality and competitive level of the product. The definition and function of welding positioner are discussed in this paper. The new definition of welding positioner extends the research scope of welding positioner to welding fixture and welding positioning motion mechanism. The design process of welding fixture and positioning motion system is described, and the cased based and knowledge based design strategy of welding positioner scheme design intelligent CAD is then put forward, which lays foundation for developing proto type system of welding positioner scheme design.展开更多

The general architecture of the integrated environment is divided into five tiers and employs the transparently integrated mode, with the mode, function calling and information exchanging among independent PDM and CAD processes are carried out via message translation /parse approach. Product layout feature（PLF ） model definition is presented, PLF model is used to represent design intention at the preliminary design phase. The collaborative design methodology employing the PLF model in PDM/3D CAD integrated environment is analyzed. The design methodology can speed up the design process, reduce the investment and improve the product quality.展开更多

The general architecture of a 3D CAD/PDM integrated system is organized as five tiers. Multi-agent technology is applied with a collaborative design environment. The rule-based product family architecture （ PFA ） and tabular layouts of article characteristics （TLAC） technique are applied to represent the knowledge for product families. They make the knowledge understandable, simplified and can be exchanged among heterogeneous information systems. A transparently concentric integrated mode is put forward to enable the heterogeneous processes to interact and communicate regardless of the language used to construct each process. With the mode, function calling and information exchanging among different processes are carried out via message translation/parse approach. Currently, the integrated system is implemented in the platform of Windows NT and 2000.展开更多

All working conditions of culvert are taken into account. It can generate load diagram, bending moment diagram and bending moment envelope diagram for a single-hole, double-hole or triple-hole box culvert .That is to say, the whole CAD process for the box culvert structure design is realized with the self-developed system. It has been used to accomplish several projects in China and the results are satisfactory.展开更多
文摘The principle of a CAD method of converting the pre-designed figures in image form into complex dobby weaves with the appearances similar to the original figures is mainly introduced in this paper. A few designed weaves by the created CAD system are also given as examples of the practical application in the area of complex dobby weave designing.
