Application of CAD Systems in Designing Material Handling Equipment

Abstract

Article infoThe possibilities of CAD system and FEM application in the process of designing material handling equipment were presented. The key importance of the computer systems that aid the engineering work in integrated design and production was indicated. The economic, time and technical advantages resulting from the replacement of empirical and strength tests with those conducted in the form of computer simulations were demonstrated. The usefulness of CAD and FEM systems in designing material handling equipment was confirmed.
