In spite of the advance of 3D solid modeling technology, there are some distinct areas where 2D CAD S/W are still dominant, and more competent comparing with 3D CAD S/W. For example, in the manufacturing of 2D-shaped electrical parts, most related manufacturing tools have 2D geometric features by nature, and 3D solid models applied to these parts have substantial overheads. Nevertheless, most 2D CAD S/W have no topological inquiry services because they have no such information on their geometrical database inherently. Thus, it is needed to extract such information from 2D CAD database for developing more advanced application such as automated drafting/design S/W. In this paper, the extraction of topological information from 2D CAD has been performed in general way using concept of B-rep. A general extraction algorithm, data structure and meta file format for 2D topological object have been developed and successfully applied to the development of the automated lead frame die design system in Samsung Aerospace. it is also possible to provide a flexible, powerful topology-oriented functionality on any common 2D CAD S/W.

In this paper, an automated design system of suspension and steering parts is developed. The system automates the processes of 3-D modeling and 2-D drafting of the parts. In addition, the BOM and dimension data of the designed part is also automatically transferred to the database of ERP system. The system is developed by using the functions of parametric design and API(application Programming Interface) of the a commercial solid modeler.

Lots of forginfs used in automobile and aerospce industries are made in hot or cold working conditions, depending on the size and shape of a product. Usually the die design for new items has been first made on the basis of experiences and many know-hows accumulated in the company and then slightly modified through trial and error method to get the desired forgings without defects. Most of drawings at the die design stage have been manually drawn, butrecently some of forging companies have begun to apply a computer-aided drafting technique to the die design for reducing drafting time as well as repeatedly utilizing standardized parts form registerd data base. In this paper the automated die design technique for forward extrusion of axisymmetric forgings is developed by using AutoLISP language. For this study the representative die system is determined form the investigation of several types of forging dies being currently employed in the metal forming field and the design rules for cold extrusion die are summarized and programmed on a personal computer. A few design examples of forward extrusion die are given and discusses.

In this paper, an automated design system for ball-joint parts based on 3-D solid modeler is developed. Parametric modeling and API provided by 3-D solid modeler is engaged to develope the system which consists of four main modules such as : 3-D part modeling, parts assembling, 2-D drafting, and database interfacing modules. The automated design system is implemented on a computer, and shows us that it shorten the design processing time which have taken over 5 hours to only few minutes.

The manual procedure of drafting engineering design is fast becoming obsolete. One of the important areas in CAPP is to automate tolerance assignment which is encountered in mechanical part design. This paper presents an approach for automating tolerance assignment using CAD database and tolerancing database in CAD drawing. The system is consisted of four major functions feasture extraction, feaure inferencing, rule-based tolerance allocation, and automatic upating. Auto CAD R.II is employed as CAD system and a computer progran is developed by using Auto LISP on PC-386.

An integrated design system has as its aim the incoporation of all the design processes, such as, planning, preliminary design, analysis, detailed design (mamber design), evaluation, and drafting into an unified software system. Successful implementation such a system could lead to major improvements in efficiency by eliminating duplication of data and efforts. reducing errors, saving design time, providing management support, and so on. This study presents a methodology for an computer-integrated design system for building structures, synthesizing algorithmic procedures and knowledge based expert systems on the network database. Network database, which was designed to store all information systematically during the design processes, provides centeral communication area between algorithms and expert systems. The conventional procedural codes automate the routine design phases such as structural analysis, whereas knowledge-based expert systems support designer's decisions at the creative design phases such as preliminary design etc. The user interface with interactive and batch modes controls the design phases and manages design information and activates the algorithms and the expert systems. The concept presented in this paper will contribute to the formulation of automated design systems for building structures.

These days much efforts have made all over the world in order to develop the integrated optimum structural design system that performs automated design process composed of the analysis, optimum design, drafting, and reporting. However, these types of design systems oriented extensively to port structures are rarely found. In this paper, the integrated optimun design system applied to gravity type port structures such as quay walls and breakwaters will be briefly presented. Highly sophiscated facilities necessary in optimum structural design including analysis and optimization are integrated into one system. Several types of gravity type port structures can be designed using this system. The application to the real ports and the efficiency of this system will be finally shown.

This paper presents design automation system using API and parametric modeling of solid modeler, which is applied on axial fans for cooling towers. The design data including chord length and twist angle according to the fan length are given by design program, and API functions are applied to automate the modeling and assembly process of fan blade. The boss to connect fan and motor is designed with parametric design function provided by UG so as to be flexibly changed by the value of design parameters. The process of generating 2-D drafting for parts and an assembly is also automated. With developed system, the modeling time is reduced to 5 minutes even with unskilled operators.

The biggest challenge facing today manufacturing industry is better quality and high productivity. From an economic point of view, productivity is the most important parameter, as high productivity will reduce the cost. However, the customers of day are not only cost concerned, but also quality conscious. So high accuracy levels should also be achieved in the manufacturing process. This paper reports the development of a automatic design system based on AutoCAD program. 1'his work is composed of three section that are design of top down menu, impeller and casing for pump programed by AutoLISP language and runned Windows system. The developed system ultimately generates the design for a pump through AutoCAD program. In the design of the pump, it needs about 23 hours with an expert, but this system can be only 80 seconds without an expert.
