Research On CAD System Of Spherical Tank

The technology of Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing has integrated with traditional manufacturing. It has not only changed the conventional mode of designing and manufacturing products, but also helped to improve the ability of innovation, the level of technology and the ability of market competition of enterprises. It is also the important technical foundation for further development toward CIMS.The spherical tank, as a kind of important chemical equipment, is widely used in chemical industry, oil industry and other industries. People attach importance to the research and development. The design of tank integrated with CAD/CAE can improve the quality and efficiency of design, and shorten the development cycle of product. But because the development of CAD/CAE software is very professional, the existing CAD/CAE software of chemical equipments lags behind the development of computer application technology, and there is a series of problems in development, maintenance, expansion and upgrade. So it is meaningful and useful to study and develop a special chemical industry CAD software system.This paper integrates the tank design knowledge with CAD knowledge. It uses visual basic6.0 program language and AutoCAD and ANSYS software and adopts parameterization and modularization idea. It studies the development of spherical tank CAD system with VB, APDL. There are outcomes and character of this paper...
