Abstract Details

2003, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Mechanical Engineering.
The design of sheet metal parts and the dies used to manufacture them is an art perfected through decades of experience. Reduction of costs is also increasingly important and lack of this experience is a handicap in designing a part with the lowest achievable cost. Parts are frequently redesigned after being deemed as expensive or infeasible to manufacture. Products can be brought to market faster if the designer follows certain recommended guidelines without violating any design rules. The present work aims at developing a feature extraction module and intra-feature design advisor for reducing infeasible designs, costs and production cycle times. The proposed design advisory system will aid the designer right at the design stage with useful design and manufacturability recommendations that have been gathered through decades of experience. These rules are incorporated here and implemented for SolidWorks 2000, which has a separate sheet metal modeling module. The implementation has been done in Visual Basic using the OLE Interface provided by SolidWorks API.
