Research on integrated modeling method for modular fixture based on OO technology

Generally, computer-aided fixture design (CAFD) system is limited to a special CAD system and can not be used cross platforms. Object-oriented (OO) method is taken as a core, together with tabular layouts of article characteristics (TLAC) and XML to build an integrated model for modular fixture system. In the integrated model, every sub-model works together to realize the goal of CAFD system being used successfully to other CAD platforms or diverse systems, providing valuable information and methods for the similar problems.
