A Study of Product Family Rapid Design Based on Modularization and Parameterization for Transportation Equipment
Abstract:
This study presents a novel approach for configuring the product assembly model in order to rapid design a product family of transportation equipment. The proposed methodology is divided into three phases: namely modular partition phase, product structure configuration phase, and parametric correlation phase. In the modular partition phase, building the incidence matrix through correlation analysis of components under functional, geometric and physical domains, and on this basis, building the similarity matrix and re-aggregating the components into modules by cluster method in fuzzy mathematics. In second phase, a family-oriented product design framework is proposed based on the modular partition results to help designers to concurrently create design solutions. In the last phase, communicating of the module and design framework based on the flow of design parameters information, three types of parameters association and transmission are clarified. The methodology proposed here is illustrated via the example of the design of a screw conveyor.
