AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional CAD programs fail to automatically ensure the dimensions and flushness of corner sections when designing structures using multiple types of aluminum frames and connectors, placing a significant burden on designers.

Method used

A design support device and method that includes an input unit, storage unit, arithmetic processing unit, and display unit, with a dimension and flushness guarantee processing unit to ensure the dimensions and flushness of structures by determining the presence of caps, connector types, and win/loss ratios between members, and allowing for command-based adjustments.

Benefits of technology

Automatically ensures the dimensions and flushness of corner sections in structures, enabling designers to select members that guarantee the outer shape is flush at the corners, regardless of cap presence, connector type, or win/loss configurations.

Abstract

To provide a design support device and a CAD program and a design support method that, when selecting various types of members to constitute an arbitrary structure, guarantee the dimensions of the arbitrary structure and support the design so that the outer shapes become flush at a corner part.SOLUTION: In a design support device, a client-side terminal 1 is provided with: an input unit 11 that receives input of information including dimensions related to an arbitrary structure; a storage unit that stores a CAD program and stores data necessary for design including data of various types of members constituting the arbitrary structure; an operation processing unit that performs information processing based on the information input through the input unit and the data necessary for design stored in the storage unit; a display unit that displays a result of the information processing performed by the operation processing unit; and a dimension and flush guarantee processing unit that guarantees the dimensions of the structure input through the input unit and performs processing so that the outer shapes become flush at a corner part of the structure.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
