Abstract

Model-based definition (MBD) technology has gained popularity in recent years. It provides an opportunity for a deeper integrated digital design and manufacturing of mechanical products. Automated manufacturability analysis (AMA) could solve increasing production costs and the manufacturing cycle caused by design defects and is the crucial support of concurrent engineering. This paper studies a systematic method for automated manufacturability analysis, which converts the design model to a structuralized feature model (SFM) with machining feature recognition. Furthermore, the machining feature-associated graph (MFAG) is proposed to describe SFM, and the meta-model expression of the knowledge rule is detailed. Finally, AMA knowledge modeling and reasoning methods are introduced. The method proposed in this paper addresses the automated manufacturability analysis of machining parts and provides a reference for MBD application in concurrent engineering.
