Characteristic Part Family and Similarity Retrieval Mechanism for Product Variant Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

Characteristic part family definition, part family master model feature diagram and XML stored document of master model are given for product variant design. Then, variant design process of part family is elaborated, including searching similar parts and the similarity retrieval mechanism which are studied for the product variant design of part family. Finally, the standard part family and business part family are developed through Java, Pro/E, SQL Server and an example on product variant design is given to testify the validity of characteristic part family and similarity retrieval mechanism.
