Object Group Technology in CAD Software

Abstract:

Group technology is the study of things similarity, combining with computer technology, open up a new integrative approach of computer aided design, production process automation and production management automation. The object group technology is to build Group to manage various objects during the CAD software application. Feature modeling technology is the foundation of the CAD system object group technology. Based on the mainstream 3D design software NX, the object group technologies including feature group, sketch Group and constraint Group are discussed in this paper. In addition, the group technology in AutoCAD and Pro/E is introduced simply. In the process of modeling and assembly, the application object group technology simplifies the operation steps and speeds up the design and reliability
