According to the application status of the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) in mechanical design field and the higher knowledge threshold that is set up for designer by CAE technique, this paper puts forward to construct a basic prototype of system to provide knowledge assistance for CAE designer with active knowledge assistance method and operation encapsulation based on network. And it is encapsulated as the partner software of the CAE software to realize the effective utilization of the CAE to reduce the learning burden of designer and designing cost. The existence of this aided system promotes the application of CAE in mechanical design engineering and improves the innovation ability.

This article is a study of various aspects of design of DNA nanorobots. When designed properly, DNA folds into tiny devices that move like macroscopic machines. Researchers have built a large and growing variety of complex DNA origami structures, including nanotubes; nanopores; and templates for proteins, nanoparticles, small molecules, and carbon nanotubes. In order to design the motion of a robotic arm or other macroscopic mechanism, engineers use the principles of kinematics; the same principles have been used to design DNA origami mechanisms. The design process for DNA origami mechanisms is still too cumbersome and error-prone, often requiring costly design iterations. New software that combines the capabilities of Computer Aided Engineering for DNA Origami (CANDO) and CANDO would streamline the process, creating a CAD-like program that would allow mechanical engineers untrained in biology to design DNA origami parts and mechanisms. Researchers envision a nanoscale equivalent of a walking robot that can travel from one position to another, a robotic manipulator or Stewart-Gough six-axis platform to precisely position molecules for specific tasks, and a mechanism like the crank-slider for injecting drugs into individual cells.

This paper describes our approach and experiences in constructing the Turbine Auto–Designer (TAD), an automated concurrent design system for aircraft engine turbines. In TAD, the design process is modeled based on the computer programs of a representative design system. It integrates three domains of the manual design process: preliminary design, detailed aerodynamic design, and detailed mechanical design. The manual design of turbines is an iterative redesign process involving the use of many sets of Computer Aided–Engineering (CAE) programs. The entire design process is modeled at four levels: analysis, automation, optimization, and concurrency. TAD is implemented with Engineous, a generic software shell for engineering design. Parts of TAD are already in use in day–to–day design practice for low–pressure turbines. In many cases of preliminary design, TAD can obtain better results quicker than the optimum obtained manually. Results also show that, for detailed aerodynamic analysis, the system can reduce the cycle time from days to hours.

Background: In the whole design process of modular fuel tank, there are some unreasonable phenomena. As a result, there are some defects in the design of modular fuel tank, and the function does not meet the requirements in advance. This paper studies this problem. Objective: Through on-the-spot investigation of the factory, a mechanical design process model is designed. The model can provide reference for product design participants on product design time and design quality, and can effectively solve the problem of low product design quality caused by unreasonable product design time arrangement. Methods: After sorting out the data from the factory investigation, computer software is used to program, simulate the information input of mechanical design process, and the final reference value is got. Results: This mechanical design process model is used to guide the design and production of a new project, nearly 3 months ahead of the original project completion time. Conclusion: This mechanical design process model can effectively guide the product design process, which is of great significance to the whole mechanical design field.
