<title>Research on the architecture and modeling method of a fixture intelligent computer-aided design system</title>

Abstract

Recent research in fixture computer -aided design systems generally emphasizes the automation of the fixture design process , but a complete system is not yet available. Some theoretical problems for fixture intelligent computer aided design (FICAD) are discussed in this paper. The focus of the contribution is the system structure and modeling method. The system structure mainly includes production FICAD , variable FICAD and design bases. The modeling method adopts parametric feature modeling. Based on parametric feature modeling , the feature structure and content are discussed and a feature base is set up.
