Feature-based representation for manufacturing planning
conference contribution
posted on 31.01.2014, 14:45 authored by Keith CaseKeith Case, Wan Abdul Rahman Jauhari Bin Wan HarunProduct models are required to support a wide range of applications but, whilst features have been used
to support single applications, it is unusual to find feature representations that simultaneously fulfil the
information needs of several applications. A formal structure for the representation of assembly and process
planning in a feature-based design system is presented, using mating and functional relationships. Objectoriented
programming techniques have been used to implement a prototype system using the ACIS solid
modelling kernel. The research has demonstrated that a single feature representation can be used to support a
number of activities within a computer integrated manufacturing environment.
