Development of a CAD/CAPP Integrated System for Metal Bellows Expansion Joints
Abstract:
To meet the requirements of improving design efficiency and decreasing technique mistakes in the enterprise whose productions are customized by users, a method is introduced to develop CAD/CAPP integrated system. The functions of the integrated CAD/CAPP system developed according to this method include 3D modeling automatically assembled, 2D engineering drawing automatically drawn, process planning sheets automatically filled and parameters of key parts checked and optimized. This method is based on adding special features to the 3D modeling. An example CAD/CAPP integrated system of Metal Bellows Expansion Joints (MBEJ) is developed by using VisualBasic6.0 based on SolidWorks platform. This system can design MBEJ part parameters per GB/T12777 standard. These parameters have been used to generate MBEJ 3D models, engineering drawings and processing planning sheets automatically. All the functions have been integrated in SolidWorks software environment. The drawing paper and processing planning sheets can be modified manually to satisfy special demand.
