A Research And Implementation Of Pdm In Visual Virtual Design Platform For Sugacane Harvester

Product Data Management (PDM) is a new industry technology to manage all product-related information and processes. Because of its powerful functions, it is becoming one of the most popular implemented industry technologies. With reference to many PDM-related papers, a research and implementation of PDM (SmarTeam) are studied in this paper; Combine with the project of Chinese Nature Sciences Fund in Visual Virtual Design Platform for Sugarcane Harvester.First the author describes PDM-related principles, classics basic concepts of PDM and analyzes technology method of PDM. Second, the author discusses functions and implementation object of PDM system. Then the author analyzes implementing method of PDM in details, building an implementing information model, in order to improve the efficiency of design for The Visual Virtual Design Platform. The author also analyzes key technologies and obstacles in implementation of PDM.The author participate the project visual virtual design platform and went through phase of project which mainly includes analysis of visual virtual design platform requirements for sugarcane harvester (included management of design document, the reality of workflow process in design), building system management models, workflow models and make some research in integrated for PDM with CAD in two or three dimensions and also with CAE and Expert System for virtual design of sugarcane harvester. Realized the management for sugarcane harvester in document and design, provided a height-efficiency development platform for the sugarcane harvester.
