The system allows designer to make substantial changes to a part or assembly at any time during the design process. User can develop his/her own special CAD system with the help of GS CADS98s macro language PPL or kernel routines. Furthermore, it is flexible enough to exchange product data with other CAD/CAE/CAM systems according to neutral file. GS CAD98s product data is managed by an object oriented database management system called OSCAR, and the product model is built according to the standard STEP. As a result of the unified product model, all product data are globally associated in GS CAD98. GS CAD98 supports the integration with CAPP, CAM and PDM.展开更多

However, existing CAD modeling systems are not capable of providing enough information for subsequent manufacturing activities such as CAPP and CAM. A new design approach using feature technique and object oriented programming method is put forward in this paper in order to create the product information model of welding structure. With this approach, the product information model is able to effectively support computer aided welding process planning, fixturing, assembling, path planning of welding robot and other manufacturing activities. The feature classification and representing scheme of welding structure are discussed. A prototype system is developed based on feature and object oriented programming. Its structure and functions are given in detail.展开更多
