The Study On Cooperative Design Environment Of Solid Rocket Motor

The improvement in design tools and method for Solid Rocket Motor(SRM) brings new problems and challenges to the designers. How to improve the usage efficiency of the design tools and data and promote the cooperation among the designers is very important to enhance the design ability of SRM. In this thesis, a schema for building the cooperative design environment of SRM is proposed in which the integration of the designed data is discussed in detail.The schema, in which some general software(such as AutoCAD, ProE. UG, Ansys, Marc, Fluent, Nastran) and some specific software(such as SrmCAD) are integrated, consists of three main modules: Pro/Intralink, Lotus Notes, STEP. When the development of the schema is finished the design team will has more convenient design environment to work together.How to apply the standard of STEP to SrmCAD is discussed. To meet the present demand of designed data exchange, a data interface that can make parts of structural data of SrmCAD converted to the format of STEP can be developed by use of STEP tools with emphasized on parts of STEP content.An interface program which makes the data of 2-D star grain created by SrmCAD shared by ProE has been developed in this thesis. The program is integrated in ProE2001 and convenient to use, which can avoid lots of repeating work.
