Abstract

Design reuse of parts plays an important role in product design. In this study, we present a parametric design reuse framework for parts design based on web service. The proposed framework borrowed the ideas from component model of software reuse, such as reuse service, separation of interface, and realizing procedure. The reuse framework for parts can be divided into three layers: the design interface layer, the design service layer, and the design result layer. Firstly, we built parametric templates for parts design using software integrated technology (e.g., iSIGHT). The parametric, automatic, and integrated design for parts can be accomplished through the templates. Then, we deployed parametric templates for parts design using web encapsulation technology (e.g., EASA). Finally, we developed a design reuse prototype system using heat pipe exchanger design reuse for demonstration based on the proposed framework.
