Abstract

This paper proposes a new design method for complex workpieces applied to turbomachine components. The proposed method is integrated into a simultaneous engineering process considering design for manufacturing aspects; it is based on the definition of indicators which quantify the capability of a workpiece computer-aided design (CAD) model to check functional requirements. This paper especially develops the definition of manufacturability indicators for turbomachine components; hydraulic and mechanical indicators are not presented. The proposed design method is based on the definition of a parametrical CAD model. Then a large randomized number of parametrical combinations are tested and the generated CAD models are classified using indicators. The machinability indicator is obtained using the key issues of current machining problems.
