On Computer Aided Formation Framework for Composite Material
The composite molding process design systems are developed on specific manufacturing resources or specific environment whenever at home and abroad, which enjoys a poor versatility. We built the system structure and flow for composite process integration framework after the computer-assisted resin transfer molding software has been developed. Then, studied the template-based data structure and established the model that can form a CAPP application system rapidly; developed a three levels similar cases retrieval structure based on part level, shape level and feature level; realized the customization of process card by adopting the excel template method. Finally, a resin transfer molding (RTM) process planning system is customized by object oriented programming (OOP) and component technique to verity the validity and feasibility of the integrating framework.
