Product Configuration Technology Research And System Development In PDM

With the shock waves of globalization and individualization of buyers'markets, the rapid and efficient reflect capability is getting more and more important in enterprise. PDM (Product Data Management) is a technology to manage product-related information and processes throughout the lifecycle of product. It is not only the efficient way to improve the level of product developing management during the latest period, and the essential element of information integration for enterprise, but also the foundation for implementing the distributed, integrated, professional enterprise and for forming the new organization style such as mufti-area manufacture, dynamic union, visual enterprise.Product structure management and product configuration management are both important function modules of PDM system, and are both interfaces for integrating with other application systems. It bestride product life cycle, with responsibility for product data organization and management. To effectively manage and maintain these numerous and jumbled product data resources, a perfect product information model must be founded.In this thesis, at the first time, PDM's start, development, functions and supplement was expatiated. And production structure and configuration management research evolve and meaning was expatiated.As the basic of them, discuss and analysis basic information related to production structure and configuration management.At the second time, particular introduce the analysis and design of about production structure and configuration management system:production structure and configuration model is put forward,product configuration rule and configuration priority is designed and realized,the system frame and function environment,and also the main system function which is realized on the basic of them. Because of them, realize the system total description.At the third time, the system realized the function distilling SolidWorks model's attribute, including distilling part attribute and distilling assemble structure, with SolidWorks's secondary development technology. And as the basic of them, according to the actual instance, product configuration rule and configuration priority is analyzed and designed.As the same time combine with the previous related technology, take example for gear-box, develop a product configuration and management system, which is mainly realize product structure management and product configuration management and elected output about BOM information.At last, the thesis recommended the development of apply integrate technology and the several methods of integration and about PDM system and CAD system, and analysis the integration flow about the system and SolidWorks system, realize the tightness integration of the system and SolidWorks system.
