“…In the context of increased demand for a higher degree of product customization and personalization, simulation leads to resource economy [28][29][30]. Manufacturing processes simulation, as an intermediate stage in implementing digital manufacturing asks for the use of specific technologies and methods [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39].…”

The current competitive environment demands companies to be more and more efficient. In order to increase manufacturing efficiency, two apparently independent approaches have emerged: lean strategies, focusing on identifying and minimizing non-added value activities, identifying wastes in the system and their elimination, and information tools for planning and controlling activities. In this paper, a manufacturing system was considered for which it was necessary to increase the production capacity in order to respond to the customer’s increased demand. A practical case study in the automotive industry for a medium-sized enterprise was considered. In order to investigate the production process parameters and to implement lean principles, Value Stream Mapping (current analysis and optimized solution) and Anylogic agent-based simulations were carried out. Based on this, the lean performances, specific for the target VSM, were evaluated in terms of key performance indicators. The benefits of integrating agent-based simulation in the design and analysis of the value flow in the production chain are the capitalization of the information offered by Value Stream Mapping and the possibility to choose the best one from the possible scenarios. It generates important time and cost reductions without further resource waste.

“…Neto et al developed a CAD based system in order to program a robot from a 3D CAD model, allowing users with basic CAD skills to generate robot programs off-line [2].Another use of the API can be found in the study of Haba and Oancea on the manufacturing technologies that are designed for the assembly of a single cylinder, four strokes, air cooled engine block [3]. Similarly, Badan and Oancea developed a software tool that allows user to generate different types of holes, on parallelepipedic solids, starting from different references as edges, vertexes, known points on the solids, or different types of entities which are placed on the solids [4].…”

Abstract. Automating the design process of a product or a system can provide engineers and designers with many benefits. As such, repeatable tasks that are time consuming can be handled automatically and with minimal human attention. This is achieved by using the API (Application Programmable Interface) of CAD systems in order to create macros or even develop software applications. The present paper deals with an application that has been developed with the API of a general purposes CAD system. This application automates the design process of a standard pneumatic double acting cylinder based on the appropriate inserted parameters (ISO 15552).The design process begins with the creation of a series of components developed as solids, and extends to the extraction of basic attributes and properties from the complete mechanical assembly. Finally, the assembled models and the extracted data can be used to further study the design of the pneumatic double acting cylinder. It is expected in the future to expand the features of the presented application in order to automate the design process of other related mechanical systems.

“…Then, a macro is used to calculate the involute arcs that define the teeth profiles. These points define the gear, and they are exported to general purpose CAD software [10] in order to obtain the 3D gear model; afterwards, they are post-processed in a CAM software to obtain the milling trajectories required to manufacture the gear. Elliptical and oval gears may be similar, but their behaviour is not the same, not only from a geometrical aspect but also from a kinematic point of view as described below.…”
