Large structure such as container crane is small amount manufacturing and made for order. A lot of designers must work cooperatively to bring it to success as early as it is needed. Besides, collecting and identifying customers’ needs and understanding their idea are essential tasks in the development process. In this paper, a 3D parametric design system based on hybrid pattern of Client/Server and Browser/Server is introduced to achieve the coordination between the design team and close communication with the customers. In Client/Server architecture, a framework is presented to support integration of CAD/CAE. The effective management of mail and message can ensure swift, safe and effective communication between designers and avoid useless working and wrong result. Based on the top-down design method, skeleton model, technologies of parametric 3D modeling, finite element analysis, integrated CAD/CAE and engineering database, the CAD platform of 3D parametric model family for crane design is set up. That let the cooperation of the design team possible. In Browser/Server architecture, standard Internet Explores act as the browsers, which will exchange the desired information as well as dynamically display the CAD models in VRML format according to request.

According to the different fellower structure and general simple trapezoid motion law of cam mechanism, this paper established a mathematic model for the motion of fellower structure of cam mechanism. The design method of motion law of the fellower structure was introduced, and the law of motion transition of fellower system and the related issues with program design were studied. A design system was developed using VB code based fellower structure and general motion laws. And the system could solve the curve of motion law for the fellower system and the eigenvalue of the curve, and finally realize parametric design of motion law for the fellower structure of cam mechanism. And the system could calculate and output the coordinate of cam configuration, and improve the digitized design process of cam parametric. The interface of the designed system is friendly and convenient, and the system could be used in both engineering and teaching.

As the core of automotive welding production line, the development speed and quality of automotive welding jig impact on the automobile production cycle and manufacturing precision directly. At present, the traditional design method of automotive welding jig is difficult to adapt to the developing speed of auto body. In order to improve the design efficiency of the welding jig, a rapid automobile welding jig design method based on parametric technology is developed in this paper. Supported by parametric theory, combining with CATIA secondary development approach, the principle and structure of the automobile welding jig rapid design system are presented, and related key technologies in rapid design system developing are studied deeply, and a rapid welding jig parametric design system is developed finally. Taking one station of rear side member for example, the generation process of automotive welding jig is analyzed in detail, and design practice shows: the welding jig designed by this system has shorter development cycle then the traditional method.

This paper describes an automated design system for trimming die structure. Considering the complexity of trimming dies, a modular design method was used to define module’s functions and determine the design processes of trimming dies. Through analyzing the relationship of structure and function of trimming dies, the systematic analysis of modularization for trimming dies is achieved from assembly-level division. By using parametric design method, the internal connection between modules is analysis from part-level division, and the module-based design process of complex part is accomplished. The CAD system for trimming dies is developed on platform of UGNX software. The application results show the high efficiency and design flexibility.

Traditional agricultural machinery design methods usually go through longer-design cycle and can hardly make good use of existing knowledge and experience. In view of this problem, parametric design theory and knowledge-based engineering were applied to the disc-scoop-type metering device designed to improve the design experience and reuse design knowledge. Through the knowledge-based parametric design method, the design framework model of disc-scoop-type metering device was put forward. The knowledge library on the basis of design rules and characteristic similarity-based case library were created, and disc-scoop-type metering device parametric design system based on knowledge had been developed on the platform of Pro/Engineering. The rapid design for knowledge-driven model of disc-scoop-type metering device was realized. The specific design examples clearly indicated that the establishment of the system considerately improved the quality and efficiency of the design.

Based on the analysis, the topology optimization method of column structure is proposed, and the optimal design method is established to minimize the weight. The finite element analysis is made again to analyze the rearranged column structure. Compared with the design made through experience, optimally designed column can reduce 10% weight. And the critical displacement and maximum stress are not affected.

The extruder is the key device to produce extrusion feed and food. Since different raw materialsi require different structural and technological parameters, the parametric design method must be used when an extruder is designed. The 3D (3-dimensional) software now available is just universal design platform, so the further development must be done based on universal software to realize the automatic design of machines for special purpose. In this paper the further development is carried out and the CAD (Computer Aided Design) system for the 3D parametric design of extruder is developed based on Solidworks. The system is developed with Visual C++, and it can be compatibly added in Solidworks as dynamic linkage library, which makes the modification of extruder more rapid and more correct. The paper introduces every function part in detail, including parameter input , design and calculation, 3D modeling of part, 3D modeling of assembly, engineering drawing. The realization of the automatic 3D modeling adopts the new idea of driven by dimension primarily and driven by program secondarily. The whole system is encapsulated in a menu of Solidworks. After some parameters, such as power and rotational speed, are imported through UI (User Interface), the system will automatically complete the design of extruder. Then 3D models and engineering drawings of parts or assembly can be exported according to the choice of user.
