The invention belongs to the field of a virtual manufacturing
system for constructing the process of cold bend forming by using CATIA
software. Aiming the problem that the prior roller can only be used after field modification, the invention uses the
virtual function of the CATIA
software to develop the cold bend forming virtual manufacturing
system. The
system uses V-B language to compile and is connected with the CATIA
software, and comprises a general platform, a part generating program calling platform and an
assembly platform, wherein the general platform is a general
system interface, the part generating program calling platform can call programs of various rollers, and a three-dimensional drawing and an
engineering drawing are showed on the CATIA software after
data input. The
assembly platform virtualizes the rolling process after a rolling sequence
list and space coordinates during the rolling of the rollers are inputted, analyzes and amends the stress-strain of the rollers during rolling, evaluates and amends the rolling quality and finally outputs the qualified roller data by
data stream. The proposal comprises the steps: 1) establishing the general platform; 2) establishing the part generating program calling platform; 3) establishing the
assembly platform; 4) establishing a roller part virtual module of the part generating program calling platform; 5) establishing a rolling process virtual module; 6) establishing a stress-strain analyzing module; 7) establishing a rolling quality analyzing and amending module; and 8) establishing a roller
manufacturing data stream output module.
