Parallel N.C. machines, also referred to as mill-turns, are a new generation of machine tools aimed at increasing machining accuracy and reducing part cycle times. In addition to their capacity to do both milling and turning, these next generation machines tools can perform multiple machining operations simultaneously, involving one or more parts at a time, and can completely finish a part (front and back) in a single setup. Parallel machining raises issues with respect to computer aided process planning which have not been dealt with in the past. In this paper, a prototype CAPP system called PMPS, for parallel machining, is described. First, we briefly highlight the new issues to be dealt with in process planning for parallel machining. Next, the architecture and details of PMPS, a generative CAPP system, is described. Finally, the implementation and results are discussed.

Abstract U.S. industry spends billions of dollars as a result of poor interoperability between computer-aided engineering software tools. While ongoing standards development efforts are attempting to address this problem in today’s tools, the more significant demand in next-generation tools will be for representations that allow information used or generated during various product development activities to feed forward and backward into others by way of direct electronic interchange. Although the next generation of tools has the potential for greatly increased benefits, there is also a potential for the cost of poor interoperability to multiply. The goal of this work is to develop representations of information that are unavailable in traditional CAD/CAM/CAE tools to support the exchange of product information in a distributed product development environment. This paper develops a vision of next-generation product development systems and provides a core representation for product development information on which future systems can be built.

Abstract The complexity of modern products and design tools has complicated the exchange of design information. It is widely recognized that the capture, storage, and retrieval of design information is one of the major challenges for the next generation of computer aided design tools. This paper presents a model for the flow of design information that supports a semantics-based approach for developing information exchange standards. The model classifies design information into various types, organizes these types into information states and levels of abstraction, and identifies the various transformations that operate between the information states. The model is then applied to an example of a transmission for a cordless drill.

Abstract The Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) system is an essential element of public safety to streamline the emergency response process and enable real-time information sharing. With the introduction of Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1), there is great potential to enhance the functionalities and capabilities of the conventional CAD system. However, the transition to NG9-1-1 and the implementation of the Next Generation CAD (NGCAD) system are both challenging and very slow owing to many constraints. This paper aims to explore and discuss the current challenges and future trends that have an impact on developing and implementing NGCAD. More specifically, it highlights current technological and non-technological challenges associated with NG9-1-1 and outlines how the emerging technologies can help in resolving them. We predict that this paper will benefit all CAD system stakeholders, including public safety and industry professionals, by increasing the awareness of the NGCAD system’s evolution and the capabilities it is required to have within the context of NG9-1-1.

In multiple interaction-state mechatronic devices the interactions between elements of use-environment and elements of the device can have different qualitative structures depending upon the modes of the device operation and the states of the use-environment. This paper describes a modeling framework to support conceptual design of such devices using state transition diagrams. We define the primitives and operators needed in the modeling framework, and illustrate the conceptual design process using these primitives and operators. We believe that the framework described in this paper will provide the underlying foundations for constructing the next generation software tools for the conceptual design of mechatronic devices.
