Abstract
The conventional CAD modeling methods of connecting rod are time-consuming because of the complex in geometry. A Little modification in shape or size of IC engine assembly will cause a considerable chain reaction in the geometry of connecting rod which leads to alter the CAD model because of various interrelated design issues. Consequently, the CAD model of the connecting rod needs to be altered so as to match the modification(s) of the engine. The advanced CAD modeling techniques such as parametric modeling technique offer the solutions to these issues. This paper introduces a knowledge-based system for CAD modeling of a two wheeler IC Engine Connecting Rod by using commercially available CAD package SolidWorks. An inference engine and relevant GUI are developed within the CAD software for assisting the design engineers. The developed system is an application of engineering which utilizes the reuse of the design knowledge.
