General Structure and Coding of a Product Group Database

Article Preview

Abstract:

Today’s product designer is being asked to develop high quality at an ever increasing pace. To meet this need, an intensive search is underway for advanced design methodologies that facilitate the acquisition of design knowledge and creative ideas for later reuse. Additionally, designers are embracing a wide range of macros applications to increase their productivity. This paper proposes a solution for creating a group product database, this being under development, starting from the specifications product in an excel file, in the end obtaining the entities block for the products with parameters and actions according to their characteristics. The code it’s implemented for an abrasive tool by linking product definition parameters to CAD’s functions.
