In the process of operation of present-day mechanical equipment, dynamic loads arise, leading to the failure of parts, assemblies and mechanisms and, thus, reducing the equipment life time and operational reliability. A method has been developed for calculating the design and technological values of a pin flexible coupling with a flexible disk-type element, using the method of central compositional rotatable uniform planning of the second order and the finite-element method for calculating stresses using a computer-aided design system. The analytical dependence of the torque on the PCD (pin (centers of holes for pin) circle diameter) and the width of the flexible element with certain physical and mechanical properties was substantiated, on the basis of which the formula for the total width of the flexible disk-type element was obtained, taking into account the value of the required torque and the given PCD. In order to check the obtained dependence of the nominal torque, an additional study of couplings with the given PCD was carried out at different total width of the flexible element. The implemented research allowed determining the influence of the design characteristic values on the transmitted torque of a pin flexible coupling with a flexible disk-type element. A standard-size range of couplings with certain design and technological values has been proposed.

Computer-aided design of assembly processes (Computer aided assembly planning, CAAP) of complex products is an important and urgent problem of state-of-the-art information technologies. Intensive research on CAAP has been underway since the 1980s. Meanwhile, specialized design systems were created to provide synthesis of assembly plans and product decompositions into assembly units. Such systems as ASPE, RAPID, XAP / 1, FLAPS, Archimedes, PRELEIDES, HAP, etc. can be given, as an example. These experimental developments did not get widespread use in industry, since they are based on the models of products with limited adequacy and require an expert’s active involvement in preparing initial information. The design tools for the state-of-the-art full-featured CAD/CAM systems (Siemens NX, Dassault CATIA and PTC Creo Elements / Pro), which are designed to provide CAAP, mainly take into account the geometric constraints that the design imposes on design solutions. These systems often synthesize technologically incorrect assembly sequences in which known technological heuristics are violated, for example orderliness in accuracy, consistency with the system of dimension chains, etc.An AssemBL software application package has been developed for a structured analysis of products and a synthesis of assembly plans and decompositions. The AssemBL uses a hyper-graph model of a product that correctly describes coherent and sequential assembly operations and processes. In terms of the hyper-graph model, an assembly operation is described as shrinkage of edge, an assembly plan is a sequence of shrinkages that converts a hyper-graph into the point, and a decomposition of product into assembly units is a hyper-graph partition into sub-graphs.The AssemBL solves the problem of minimizing the number of direct checks for geometric solvability when assembling complex products. This task is posed as a plus-sum two-person game of bicoloured brushing of an ordered set. In the paradigm of this model, the brushing operation is to check a certain structured fragment for solvability by collision detection methods. A rational brushing strategy minimizes the number of such checks.The package is integrated into the Siemens NX 10.0 computer-aided design system. This solution allowed us to combine specialized AssemBL tools with a developed toolkit of one of the most powerful and popular integrated CAD/CAM /CAE systems.

Процесс создания проекта судна или корабля рассматривается как преобразование информации, содержащейся в техническом задании на проектирование, нормативных документах и знаниях проектанта, в информацию, объем которой позволяет реализовать проект. Проектирование может быть представлено как поиск решения в пространстве задач. Построение цепочки последовательно решаемых задач составляет методику проектирования. Проектные задачи могут быть разбиты на две группы. Первая группа ‒ это полностью формализуемые задачи, для решения которых есть известные алгоритмы. Например, построение теоретического чертежа по известным главным размерениям и коэффициентам формы. Ко второй группе задач можно отнести трудно формализуемые или неформализуемые задачи. Например, к задачам этого типа можно отнести разработку общего расположения корабля. Важнейшим инструментом проектирования современного корабля или судна является система ав­томатизированного проектирования (САПР). Решение САПР задач первой группы не представляет проблемы. Введение в состав САПР задач второй группы подразумевает разработку специального ма­тематического аппарата, базой для которого, которым является искусственный интеллект, использующий теорию нечетких множеств. Однако, настройка искусственных нейронных сетей, создание шкал для функций принадлежности элементов нечетких множеств и функций предпочтений лица принимающего решения, требует участие человека. Таким образом, указанные элементы искусственного интеллекта фиксируют качества проек­танта как специалиста и создают его виртуальный портрет. The process of design a project of a ship is considered as the transformation of information contained in the design specification, regulatory documents and the designer's knowledge into information, the volume of which allows the project to be implemented. Designing can be represented as a search for a solution in the space of problems. The construction of a chain of sequentially solved tasks constitutes the design methodology. Design problems can be divided into two groups. The first group is completely formalizable tasks, for the solution of which there are known algorithms. For example, the construction of ship's surface by known main dimensions and shape coefficients. Tasks of the second group may in­clude those which are difficult to formalize or non-formalizable. For example, tasks of this type can include develop­ment of general arrangement of a ship. The most important design tool of a modern ship or vessel is a computer-aided design system (CAD). The solu­tion of CAD problems of the first group is not a problem. Introduction of tasks of the second group into CAD implies development of a special mathematical apparatus, the basis for which is artificial intelligence, which uses the theory of fuzzy sets. However, the adjustment of artificial neural networks, the creation of scales for membership functions of fuzzy sets elements and functions of preferences of decision maker, requires human participation. Thus, the above elements of artificial intelligence fix the qualities of the designer as a specialist and create his virtual portrait.

This article presents architecture of integrated intelligent computer-aided design system for designing mechanical power-transmitting mechanisms (IICADkmps). The system has been developed in C# program environment with the aim of automatising the design process. This article presents a modern, automated approach to design. Developed kmps modules for calculation of geometrical and design characteristics of mechanical power-transmitting mechanisms are described. Three-dimensional geometrical parameter modelling of mechanical power-transmitting mechanisms was performed in the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing/computer-aided engineering system CATIA V5. The connection between kmps calculation modules and CATIA V5 modelling system was established through initial three-dimensional models – templates. The outputs from the developed IICADkmps system generated final three-dimensional virtual models of mechanical power-transmitting mechanisms. Testing of the developed IICADkmps system was performed on friction, belt, cogged (spur and bevel gears) and chain transmitting mechanisms. Also, connection of the developed IICADkmps system with a device for rapid prototyping and computer numerical control machines was made for the purpose of additional testing and verification of practical use. Physical prototypes of designed characteristic elements of mechanical power-transmitting mechanisms were manufactured. The selected test three-dimensional virtual prototypes, obtained as an output from the developed IICADkmps system, were manufactured on the device for rapid prototyping (three-dimensional colour printer Spectrum Z510) and computer numerical control machines. Finally, at the end of the article, conclusions and suggested possible directions of further research, based on theoretical and practical research results, are presented.

Power plant design using digital engineering based on 3-D computer-aided design has become a mainstream technology because of possessing higher speed and improvement in design accuracy. To take a coal-fired boiler building as an example, it has many complex structures with several million parts including the boiler itself, large fans, steel structures, and piping in varying sizes. Therefore, it is not easy to maintain integrity of the whole design throughout all the many engineering processes. We have developed a smart design system for coal-fired boiler buildings to solve the integrity problem. This system is capable of creating and allocating 3-D models automatically in accordance with various technical specifications and engineering rules. Lately, however, there has been a growing demand for more effectiveness of the developed system. We have begun to look into the feasibility of further improvements of the system function. The first point to note, when considering effectiveness, is the piping path routing process in the coal-fired boiler building. The quantity of piping is large, and it has a considerable impact on performance of the whole plant because hot steam is fed into the steam turbine and cold steam is taken from it through the piping. A considerable number of studies have been made on automatic searching methods of piping path routing. Although, the decision of piping path routing by using the Dynamic Programming method is most commonly, a previously decided routing becomes an interference object because of the single searching method. Therefore, basically, the later the order of the routing becomes, the longer the length of the routing becomes. To overcome this problem, in this paper we have proposed a new searching method based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA). The GA is a multipoint searching algorithm based on the mechanics of natural selection and natural genetics. Virtual prohibited cells are introduced into the proposed search method as a new idea. The virtual prohibited cells are located in a search space. The different paths are generated by avoiding the virtual prohibited cells while searching for the piping path routing. The optimum locations of the prohibited cells which are expressed in a genotype are obtained by using the GA in order to get a lot of paths independent of the order of the routing. The proposed method was evaluated using a simple searching problem. The results showed that many effective paths are generated by making the virtual prohibited cells.

In order to manage the version files and maintain the latest version of the computer-aided design (CAD) files in asynchronous collaborative systems, one method of version merging for CAD files is proposed to resolve the problem based on feature extraction. First of all, the feature information is extracted based on the feature attribute of CAD files and stored in a XML feature file. Then, analyse the feature file, and the feature difference set is obtained by the given algorithm. Finally, the merging result of the difference set and the master files with application programming interface (API) interface functions is achieved, and then the version merging of CAD files is also realized. The application in Catia validated that the proposed method is feasible and valuable in engineering.
