To save time and resources, many are making the transition to developing their ideas virtually. Computer-aided gear production realization is becoming more and more desired in the industry. To produce gears with custom qualities, such as material, weight and shape, the trial and error approach has yielded the best results. However, trial and error is costly and time consuming. The computer-aided integrated design and manufacturing approach is intended to resolve these drawbacks. A simple one stage reduction spur gearbox is used as an example in a case study. First, the gear geometry is developed using computer aided design (CAD) modeling. Next, using MATLAB/Simulink, the gear assembly is connected virtually to other subsystems for system expectations and interaction analysis. Finally, using finite element analysis (FEA) tools such as ABAQUS, a dynamic FEA of the gear integration is completed to analyze the stress concentrations and gear tooth failures. Through this method of virtual gear design, customized dimensions and specifications of gears for satisfying system-level requirements can be developed, thereby saving time and manufacturing costs for any custom gear design request.

Microfluidic devices developed over the past decade feature greater intricacy, increased performance requirements, new materials, and innovative fabrication methods. Consequentially, new algorithmic and design approaches have been developed to introduce optimization and computer-aided design to microfluidic circuits: from conceptualization to specification, synthesis, realization, and refinement. The field includes the development of new description languages, optimization methods, benchmarks, and integrated design tools. Here, recent advancements are reviewed in the computer-aided design of flow-, droplet-, and paper-based microfluidics. A case study of the design of resistive microfluidic networks is discussed in detail. The review concludes with perspectives on the future of computer-aided microfluidics design, including the introduction of cloud computing, machine learning, new ideation processes, and hybrid optimization.

To Receive

Mechatronic systems encompass a wide range of disciplines and hence are collaborative in nature. Currently the collaborative development of mechatronic systems is inefficient and error-prone because contemporary design environments do not allow sufficient information flow of design and manufacturing data across the electrical and mechanical domains. Mechatronic systems need to be designed in an integrated fashion allowing designers from both electrical and mechanical engineering domains to receive automated feedback regarding design modifications throughout the design process. Integrated design of mechatronic products can be realized through the integration of mechanical and electrical CAD systems. One approach to achieve this type of integration is through the propagation of constraints. Cross-disciplinary constraints between mechanical and electrical design domains can be classified, represented, modeled, and bi-directionally propagated in order to provide automated feedback to designers of both engineering domains. In this paper, the authors focus on constraint classification and constraint modeling and provide a case study example using a robot arm. The constraint modeling approach presented in this paper represents a blueprint for the actual implementation.

Along with the CAD technology being popularized, three-dimensional design of aircraft is ultimately realized into digital design. However, aircraft tolerances have not been designed by computer. They are mainly based on lots of manual calculations and not coordinated with integrated design and hold back the development of aircraft digital design and manufacture technologies. This paper introduces how to develop computer-aided aircraft tolerance analysis and distribution modules on UG and introduces Monte Carlo tolerance analysis technology. Running instances of aircraft tolerance design are illustrated in the paper.

Rubber springs are widely used in industry as antivibration components giving many years of service. The Metacone range of mountings is well established as an antivibration mounting, suitable for engine suspension, where vertical and horizontal movement is controlled within the design. The Metacone mountings manufactured at Trelleborg-AVS are designed for maximum load capacity combined with a large deflection in an axial direction. An integrated design procedure (including material and prototype testing and finite element (FE) analysis) has been carried out to evaluate the component unit to meet customer requirements. The geometry data were imported from a computer aided design (CAD) system to a computer aided engineering (CAE) system. A solid three-dimensional model with appropriate mesh was generated for FE analysis. Detailed stress analysis was conducted, and conclusions from the FE results suggested that the assembly of the Metacone mounting unit is safe for prototype testing. The ultimate load test on the prototype unit was carried out in the present authors' laboratory, and the result has shown that the component has met customer requirements. Now the products have been manufactured and delivered.
