This article represents the use of the technologies in designing the industrial machinery. In recent years the engineers have to design the complex, and massive machines in very short term. For the purpose of making the engineers in designing these machines easier, a computer-aided technologies are used and also improved. This designing tools are changed from wireframe to solid modeling because of a lot of efforts. It is easy for the engineers to check whether the assembly model can move without interfering each parts by 3D CAD. And also in many industries, the computer-aided technologies are used in a finite-element analysis and this analysis can shorten the designing time. In addition, the engineers don’t have to examine the machines minutely after manufacturing the test machines.
I work for Japan Steel Works, Ltd. and everyday design the industrial machinery by computer-aided design tools. And also I often analyze by finite-element method, FEM., in designing machines. Nowadays we need to manufacture the machine in very short time and the market will get to demand the quick delivery of our machines furthermore. Therefore it is most important that how we engineers can shorten the time in designing.
As this article said, using the solid modeling tools, 3D, can enable us to design the machines quickly and with accuracy. And our design division are in the process of applying the 3D computer-aided design system (CAD) from 2D CAD system. However, before designing the machines by 3D CAD system, we have to determine many things. For example, we need the many rules for designing by this tool. And also the cost of the computer technologies may increase. Therefore, we need much time for preparation. But I believe this preparation and advanced computer technologies can help us manufacture the outstanding machines.
