Advanced Development Method of the Standard Fixel Library for Computer Aided Fixture Design

Abstract

In order to efficiently design a fixture, it is necessary to establish a standard fixel library for CAFD system. Therefore, a SQL Server-based development technology is first employed to manage the parameterized fixel models. And then, in order to construct a fixel model, MFC is adopted to carry out the secondary development of Unigraph environment. Thus, arbitrary fixel can be dimension-drive designed according to a parameterized fixel model. The establishment of the fixel library can to a great extent reduce the trivial and repetitive tasks in the fixture design.
