<title>Realization of the redesign system based on modular design technology</title>

Abstract

In this paper, the redesign technique which is one of the key technologies in Intelligent Design System is analyzed and studied in detail. Considering previous achievements in redesign field, the main difficulties and key techniques are discussed. Combining the `8.5' National Key Project, that is `Heavy Duty Machine Tools (HDMT) Modular Design and Manufacturing'. Considering the specialties of HDMT modular design and the underconstrained nature of machine tools structures, a novel hybrid redesign strategy suited for HDMT modular design problems is put forward, and the basic idea, realization method and solving techniques of the hybrid redesign strategy are described in detail. The strategy is applied to various phases in HDMT modular design procedure successfully and flexibly.© (1996) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
