Rapid design method of product structure based on Pro/E (Figure)

Rapid product structure design method <br> <br> now competing products, particularly in competitive consumer electronics products more competitive, how to shorten product development cycles, timely introduction of new products into the market for major companies of common interest problem. Pro/ENGINEER software has been widely used in product development and design with its powerful modeling and structural design functions, providing conditions for effectively shortening the product development cycle. However, if we can effectively master some of the advanced features and techniques of Pro/ENGINEER software, we will achieve better results than expected.

In the product development process, we will find that most products are approximate symmetrical structures; or there are many identical or similar features in the same product; or because of product serialization, the same products have been the same or similar Structure. For these features, we don't have to go through the design of its size structure step by step. This article will show you how to quickly replicate these features in Pro/ENGINEER 2001 to greatly accelerate and optimize our product design.

1 Feature Mirroring When designing a product, most of it is a symmetrical structure. At this time, we can easily copy the other half feature by using the image command. The specific operation is â€œFeatureâ†’Copyâ†’Mirrorâ†’Independent/Dependentâ†’Select the feature to be mirroredâ†’Select or create mirror planeâ€.

2 Mirror geometry Sometimes we need to mirror the entire model, you can use mirror geometry. That is: "Features â†’ Mirror Geom â†’ Select or Create Mirror Plane". Of course, to complete the mirroring of the entire model, you can also use the feature mirroring command described above, namely: "Feature" â†’ Copy â†’ Mirror â†’ All Feat â†’ Independent / Dependent (Dependent) â†’ Select or create a mirror plane. The difference between the two is mainly.

(1) The features produced by the mirror geometry are considered to be one. Only one feature is generated in the model tree. The size is completely dependent on the original model. It is not possible to delete only one feature. When mirroring all features, it is equal to the original number. Features that can be modified or deleted individually.

(2) When mirroring all features, and then using the Insert Mode function to return to the new feature before the Copy action, this feature is not copied with the image unless the Mirror Geom method is used.

3 Feature Movement We can also select a feature in the model for translation or rotation replication. The specific steps are: â€œFeatureâ†’Copyâ€â†’Moveâ†’Independent/Dependentâ†’Select the feature to moveâ†’Translate/Rotateâ†’Define pan or rotate The direction and size of the movement â†’ define the size that the feature needs to change."

4 Array arrays are also the most common method of copying features.

(1) For the same array of examples, we can easily grasp it, namely: Featureâ†’ Patternâ†’Select the features to be arrayedâ†’ Identicalâ†’Select the size of the array in the first direction and enter the size increment â†’ Enter the number of arrays in this direction â†’ select the size of the array in the second direction and enter the size increment â†’ enter the number of arrays in this direction.

(2) Sometimes the size of the instance varies with the array, then we have to choose the array property as Varying.

(3) When there may be different changes in the shape of the instance and they may intersect each other, we have to select the array property as General.

(4) For arrays with multiple features in succession, we must first make them into a local group, and then use the steps of â€œFeatureâ†’Groupâ†’Patternâ€ to perform the array.

(5) For a circular array, the dimension of the guiding feature must have an angular dimension. If you cannot create an angular dimension, you can use the Copyâ†’Moveâ†’Rotate method to rotate a feature first and then perform an array. You can also create an angular dimension by creating a datum plane.

(6) Sometimes you can refer to the existing array in the model, that is, select the feature to be arrayed in the feature tree, right click, and select â€œPatternâ†’Ref Patternâ€ to quickly complete the same size as the previous one. Array.
