2、ss,Text1,We have described a typical product cycle. Now we will review it to show how the computer, or CAD, CAM, and CAE technologies, are employed in the cycle. As indicated earlier, the computer is not widely used in the synthesis phase of the design process because the computer does not handle qu
3、alitative information well. However, in the synthesis subprocess, for example, a designer might well collect the relevant design information for the feasibility study by using a commercial database and collect catalog information in the same way.,Text2,Nor is it easy to imagine how a computer might
4、be used in the design conceptualization phase because the computer is not yet a powerful tool for the intellectual creative process1. The computer may contribute in this phase by physically generating various conceptual designs efficiently 2. The parametric modeling or macroprogramming capability of
5、 computer-aided drafting or geometric modeling may be useful for this task. These packages are typical examples of CAD software.,否定 主谓倒装,Text3,You may imagine a geometric modeling system to be a three-dimensional equivalent of a drafting system; that is, it is a software package by which a three-dim
6、ensional shape instead of a two-dimensional picture is manipulated.,Question1: What are typical examples of CAD software?,Text4,The analysis subprocess of the design process is the area where the computer reveals its value. In fact, there are many available software packages for stress analysis, int
7、erference checking, and kinematic analysis. These software packages are classified as CAE. One problem with using them is the provision of the analysis model. It would not be a problem at all if the analysis model were derived automatically from the conceptual design. However, as explained previousl
8、y, the analysis model is not the same as the conceptual design but is derived by eliminating unnecessary details from the design or by reducing its dimensions.,条件状语从句,Text5,Question2: How to create the abstract shape of the design ?,The proper level of abstraction differs, depending on the type of a
9、nalysis and the desired accuracy of the solution. Thus it is difficult to automate this abstraction process; accordingly the analysis model is often created separately. It is a common practice to create the abstract shape of the design redundantly by using a computer-aided drafting system or a geome
10、tric modeling system or sometimes by using the built-in capability of the analysis packages.,Text6,The analysis subprocess can be imbedded in the optimization iteration to yield the optimal design. Various algorithms for finding the optimal solution have been developed, and many optimization procedu
11、res are commercially available. Optimization procedures could be thought of as a component of CAD software, but it is more natural to treat optimization procedures separately. The design evaluation phase also can be facilitated by use of the computer. If we need a design prototype for the design eva
12、luation, we can construct a prototype of the given design by using software packages that automatically generate the program that drives the rapid prototyping machine3.,定语从句,定语从句,Text7,Question3: What is the relationship between optimization and CAD ?,These packages are classified as CAM software. O
13、f course, the shape of the prototype to be made should exist in advance in a type of data. The data corresponding to the shape are created by geometric modeling. Even though the prototype can be constructed conveniently with rapid prototyping, it would be even better if we could use a virtual protot
14、ype, often called digital mock-up, which provides the same valuable information4.,让步状语从句,条件状语从句,定语从句,Text8,As the analysis tools used to evaluate the digital mock-up become powerful enough to give an analysis result as accurate as that from the equivalent experiment on a real prototype5, digital moc
15、k-ups will tend to replace real prototypes. This tendency will increase as virtual reality technology enables us to get the same feeling from the digital mock-up as we get from the real prototype. The activity of building digital mock-ups is called virtual prototyping. The virtual prototype can also

In this phase, computer-aided drafting is a powerful tool. The file-handlin

18、terials, NC programming, quality control, and packaging, as illustrated in Fig.10-1, so all the computer technologies for these activities can be classified as CAM. For example, computer-aided process planning (CAPP) software to aid the process planning activity is one type of CAM software. As menti
19、oned previously, process planning is difficult to automate, and thus 100 percent automatic CAPP software is not available currently. However, there are many good software packages that generate the numerically controlled (NC) programs that drive NC machines.,定语从句,条件状语从句,Text11,Question5: Describing
20、the activities in the manufacturing process ?,This type of machine creates a given shape when the shape exists in the computer in the form of data. This is similar to driving the rapid prototyping machine. In addition, also belonging to CAM are the software packages to program robot motion to assemb
