Method for converting data between ADAMS software and Pro/E software

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for converting data between ADAMS software and Pro / E software, which comprises the following steps: firstly, performing kinematics and kinetics analysis by using an ADAMS, and when dimension parameters of a part model need to be changed according to the analysis result or design requirement, using ADAMS macro command and operating system batch processing command statements to directly start three-dimensional parameter modeling software Pro / E from the ADAMS; secondly, finishing automatic modification, reconstruction and virtual assembly of a three-dimensional complete machine or the part model in the Pro / E, applying constraint by using an interface module MECH / Pro, and finally adopting a command statement of Pro / TOOLKIT to automatically return to the ADAMS from the Pro / E; thirdly, performing the kinematics and kinetics analysis again, outputting a result if the requirement is satisfied, otherwise, repeating the steps until the requirement is satisfied; and fourthly, in the ADAMS software, outputting and storing dimension data of a module to be modified in the form of an independent data file. The method provides an automatic, simple and convenient, highly-efficient and reliable solution for mechanical design and analysis, and improves the design precision and the design efficiency of products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of mechanical design, in particular to a data conversion method between ADAMS software and Pro / E software. Background technique [0002] When applying CAD / CAE / CAPP / CAM and other engineering software to solve practical engineering problems, such as virtual test design of tractor steering mechanism, key components such as combine harvester and threshing components, and kinematics and dynamics simulation research, etc. , inevitably involves the interface issues of different software. The so-called software interface technology refers to the program or method that can realize the exchange of information between two or more systems. Its core content is to read information from one (or more) of the software systems, and then write the information into another (or more) software systems, so that it can reliably and efficiently solve the problem of increasing integration and complexity. practical engineering problems.

Problems solved by technology

Since the above-mentioned general graphics format standard only describes the feature definition and topological relationship of standard graphics from a macro perspective, it is only a reference model, and in practical applications, different software developers only use a part of the reference model, so different software Although the problem of model data loss in the process of model transfer can be solved to a certain extent during model data transfer, it is still not possible to truly realize seamless integration and seamless connection between software

Once the part model is converted, the parametric information such as the shape and size of the model and the topological relationship of points, lines, and surfaces will be lost, which will lead to data incompatibility between different data formats, model data loss during the transfer of the model, and cannot be realized Model modification and other issues

When designing complex mechanical systems, this will lead to the inability to realize complex and iterative calculation processes such as virtual experiments and optimized designs for better performance, which will become a bottleneck in the design of complex mechanical systems
