Abstract
This paper introduces the development of a three-dimensional bicycle design and analysis system. Recently, three-dimensional CAD systems have been introduced in bicycle design, but it is essential to automate many routines and difficult work to reduce design time and cost. To accomplish this object, we first analyzed design activities and main design parameters of bicycle frame and crank assembly, and then built a standard part library. We developed a design automation system that allows users to get three-dimensional bicycle models simply by changing pre-defined dimensions. We also developed a bicycle structural analysis system that guides users to structural performance evaluation step-by-step. By using these systems, design can be performed more intuitively, and verification and simulation of design results can be done more easily.
