Tool path generation
CAPP: Computer Aided Process Planning
• To prepare:
– Detailed set of plans
– Instructions to produce a part
• Begins with
– Engineering drawings
– Specifications
– Parts or material lists
– Forecast of demand
• The results of the planning are:
– Routings
– Process plans
– Fabrication & assembly drawings

Factory Layout Planning
• Creation of layout from 3D models for:
– Virtual 3D models: sales personnel
– Photo-realistic images or animation
– Potential customers
– BOM: basis for price calculations

Ergonomics
•
•
•
•
Design tasks and work areas
Maximize the efficiency and quality of employees’ work
To enhance user safety and comfort
To improve the ergonomics of product designs

Off-line Robot Programming
• Takes place on a computer
• Models of the workcell:
– robot, pieces and surroundings
• Reuse of existing CAD data
• The robot programs are verified in simulation
• Errors are corrected

Production Process Simulation
•
•
•
•
•
Define problems & identify bottlenecks
Validation of proposed implementations under time constraints
Capacity Planning
Lead time reduction
Work in progress reduction

Product Lifecycle Management Systems
The process of managing the entire lifecycle
• From its conception
• Through design and manufacture
• To service and disposal

Analysis Software: Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Computer simulation technique used in engineering analysis
• Numerical technique
• Based on an energy principle such as
– The virtual work principle or
– The minimum total potential energy principle
