The computer is an important tool to design an engineering system and CAD systems are widely used for various design practice. To meet the market requirements, the old mass production system is being changed into the mass customization system. As for CAD systems, it is increasingly required to extend, automate, and customize a wide range of functionality. This article describes the state-of-the-art of the principal technologies for customizing CAD systems. And we have implemented an application that enables the parametric design by directly inputting numerical values of parameters for a CAD model. Based on this application, we have developed another system that makes it possible sharing of part family data between SolidEdge and Pro/Engineer. Through customization of CAD systems, it is possible to improve the product quality using external knowledge-based systems or to integrate with external system such as CAE tools. This paper can be a guide for engineering designers who want to customize CAD systems.

Orthographic views ore traditionally used for engineering drawings. This paper presents a methodology for 3D parametric design using orthographic views. The parametric design technique, which is used to design 2D orthographic views, is based on production rules. In the production rule-base, several view interrelation rules and over 50 geometric rules are included. An efficient algorithm is also developed to expedite the reasoning process. For 3D object construction from orthographic views, the approach known as bottom-up geometrical approach is used. The approach consists of 4 steps : 1) generation of wire-frame, 2) construction of face from wire frame, 3) formation of 3D subobjects from faces, and 4) construction of final 3D objects. Curvilinear solids as well as planar solids can be constructed. A method of converting existing 2D CAD data to parametric 3D CAD data is also presented.

In this paper a CAD-based optimal design system is introduced and applied to optimal design of machine tool structures. The system is designed to reduce manual interfacing effort. All the design activities such as selecting design variables, making FE meshes and FE analysis are integrated on a parametric CAD program. A user can easily select design variables by clicking a CAD model. To enhance the robustness and versatility, this system uses the finite difference method for the design sensitivity analysis. By taking a practical example of the design of the column of a horizontal machining center, it is shown that the software system is efficiently usable in industry establishing the goal of minimizing user intervention between various analysis and optimization activities.

In order to increase the modeling power and productivity of CAD/CAM systems, demands for customization of CAD/CAM system increased. Customization of a CAM system involves making it easier to learn and use, adding new modeling features not supported in a general purpose CAM system, and providing parametric inputting mechanism. A customization from a commercial CAM system (OMEGA) has implemented for two dimensional free curve CNC glass scribing machine of medium size company in Cheonan. A CAD technician who has no CAM experience can operate this customized CAM system satisfactorily.

The exchange of CAD (Computer Aided Design) models between different CAD systems and to downstream applications such as manufacturing has become very important to modem industry. One serious current issue is that the process cannot automatically import existing 3-D solid models in a variety of commercial CAD formats into the process without manually re-mastering the model in current standard including "SIEP AP(Application Protocol) 203 Edition 1" To fully integrate technical data from the design agency to the shop floor, design intent and validated 3D geometry of feature based parametric CAD model should be brought into the standardized processes. To overcome this limitation, AP203 Edition 2 (Ed.2) and its related STEP parts such as Part55, Part108, Part109, Part111 and Part112 are starting to be available to handle this problem. The features in Part111 are harmonized with the machining features available in AP224. This paper is focused on two mapping technologies: CAD to Part111 mapping and Pat111 to AP224 mapping including case studios and it will provide the guideline about what should be done next in the AP203 Ed.2 to AP224 mapping. The final goal of this project is to integrate technical data from CAD to AP224 based manufacturing information through AP203 Ed.2.

Different CAx systems are being utilized throughout the product lifecycle due to the practical reasons in the supply chain and design processes. One of the major problems facing enterprises of today is how to share and exchange data among heterogeneous applications. Since different software applications use different terminologies, it is difficult to share and exchange the product data with internal and external partners. This paper presents a method to enhance the CAD model interoperability based on feature ontology. The feature ontology has been constructed based on the feature definition of modeling commands of CAD systems. A method for integration of semantic data has been proposed, implemented, and tested with two commercial CAD systems.

제품 개발 환경을 자세히 들여다보면, 고객의 요구 또는 창조된 새로운 제품의 컨셉(Spec)을 사람(개발자)이 도구(설계경험, CAD)를 이용해서 업무수행절차(업무처리규정, 부서별 역할)에 따라 제품을 정의(모양, 크기, 구조)하는 것을 설계행위로 볼 수 있고, 이러한 활동의 결과로써 도면 Mock-up, 각종 Document가 만들어지고 이러한 매체가 부서간, 업무공정간 의사소통의 수단으로 이용되고 있다. 여기서 CAD를 없애서는 안될 개발의 도구로 인식하고 이용하는데, 일반적으로 경쟁력있는 제품을 개발하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 3차원 CAD시스템을 도입하여 적용해 오고 있다. 현재의 3차원 CAD시스템들은 공통적으로 솔리드(Solid) 근간에, FEATURE 개념을 수용하면서 PARAMETRIC 또는 VARIATIONAL 모델링 기법을 채택하여 설계자들에게 다양한 기능을 제공하고 있다. 그러나 3차원 CAD 시스템을 적용하여 만족할 만한 결과를 얻어내기란 간단한 문제가 아니다. 본 고에서는 당 사업장에서 개발한 무선전화기 및 FAX에 3차원 설계를 적용한 사례를 중심으로, 3차원 설계에 대한 허와 실을 살펴보고 3차원 설계가 나아가야 할 방향에 대해 생각해 보고자 한다. 참고로 당 사업장은 디자인, 기구설계, 금형설계까지는 I-DEAS, CAM 작업은 CATIA를 이용하고 있다.

The exchange of parameterized feature-based CAD models is important for product data sharing among different organizations and automation systems. The role of feature-based modeling is to gonerate the shape of product and capture design intends In a CAD system. A feature is generated by referring to topological entities in a solid. Identifying referenced topological entities of a feature is essential for exchanging feature-based CAD models through a neutral format. If the CAD data contains the modification history in addition to the construction history, a matching mechanism is also required to find the same entity in the new model (post-edit model) corresponding to the entity in the old model (preedit model). This problem is known as the persistent naming problem. There are additional problems arising from the exchange of parameterized feature-based CAD models. Authors have analyzed previous studies with regard to persistent naming and characteristics for the exchange of parameterized feature-based CAD models, and propose a solution to the persistent naming problem. This solution is comprised of two parts: (a) naming of topological entities based on the object spore information (OSI) and secondary name (SN); and (b) name matching under the proposed naming.

CAD/CAM program developers have made substantial progress in enabling engineers to design, analyze, visualize, visualize, and simulate the performance of structures and systems. Many researchers, however, agree that there is still a way to go before the existing commercial computer software can be used in ship structural analysis to their full potential as solvers which can identify opportunities to reduce man-hours and cut costs. CAD systems used for these works in ship yards are general-purposed and not custom-tailored for ship structures, which force end-users to do tiresome and routine works. The new preprocessor "MeshGen" announced in this study can load several ship types and user-friendly generate their FE meshes employing the object-oriented approach based on the parametric and top-down design. Also "MeshGen" reduces dramatically the time required to prepare CAD models under window-based environments on desktop personal computers and makes it much easier and faster for end-users to change topology and material properties.
