Information mapping between a feature-based design system and an integrated process planning system
conference contribution
posted on 2014-03-10, 13:14 authored by James Gao, Keith CaseThis paper introduces a prototype feature-based design system and a mechanism for mapping
its data to an integrated knowledge-based process planning system. The information includes
the primary feature data directly from the design front-end, a boundary representation (Brep)
model of the feature geometry, processed manufacturing feature data and re-formatted data
for the planning system. The difference between the component representations at the design
stage and at the process planning stage are analysed, and the difficulties and problems with
each mapping activity are also discussed. An example is given to demonstrate the main tasks
of the data mapping process between the integrated Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and
Computer-Aided Manufacture (CAM) systems.
