Feature based modeling system for design and analysis for tank

체계구성 자동화 및 성능 분석 인터페이스 프로그램 개발

In the concept design stage of the product design process, it is desirable that a designer makes alternative designs sufficiently, examines and analyzes them, and finally determines an appropriate design. To efficiently investigate several alternative designs, it should be facilitated to modify the model and transfer the model data to analysis program. In this research, a concept design process for tank is automated using I-DEAS feature-based modeling system from SDRC. Additionally, the facility for the pre-estimation of the performance of product, the useful volume calculation, the mass calculation, the confirmation of the allowable workspae, and the interface to analysis propram are developed using API functions of OPen-link and Open-data. Graphic User Interface (GUI) makes it extrmely easy to utilize functions.
