Abstract
Authors proposed "Joint Design Supporting System" in the previous paper. In our system, both data of welding and joint is clearly and explicitly defined as product data, and a lot of feasible plans are created semi-automatically in every design stages and evaluations of each plan are calculated automatically by the computer system. Because of managing a lot of data involved, our system needs not only data processing functions but also total framework to integrate and handling data.
In this paper, therefore, the implementation of "Joint Design Supporting System" is discussed from viewpoints of followings:
(1) Data models for welding and joint.
(2) Data processing functions to generate and evaluate data models for welding and joint.
(3) Data processing functions to generate a lot of design plans based on the designer's intents.
(4) Frameworks to describe and reuse generation flow and evaluation flow of joint design and welding design.
(5) Frameworks to manage and utilize design plans and evaluation results.
Based on these discussions, two "Joint Design Supporting Systems" which are intended for different products are developed, and validities of the proposed implementation method are shown.
