Research And Development Of Interface Automatically Control System On Engineer Software

With the high development of demand in manufacturing information integration, more and more information softwares (IS) are integrated and the interfaces become more and more complex. The traditional techniques make use of the secondary development programming to control the engineer software, but this becomes invalidly when the engineer software has less or no development interfaces. Technicians should study hard on this condition.Automatic software interface control (ASIC) is a technique different from the traditional secondary-development. It is a new thought to control the IS in system integration, and it can bring the development works impossible in secondary development programming to success.Firstly, this thesis presents architecture of interface automatic control system and the concept of interface control, gives the regulation of logic location of interface object, and makes the interface objects' division unified. Then, we introduce the environment variables, making the control scripts more standardized, logical and clear. Automatic IS control technique is come from automatic software GUI testing, enabling us to send message, run some remote code or use some other ways to control IS. The simple control codes using these technologies can be assembled in a control script and the control script can be recorded, too. It can be run in automatic software interface control system or compiled into executables code which can be used in some other components. This makes the scripts more transplantable. Moreover, automatic software interface control system also provides the interface to facilitate the development of other applications.ASIC can be used to control IS, data extraction and exchange, and it will enhance system integration capabilities without increasing the coupling of different IS.At last, there are two examples about the data exchange between CAPP and AutoCAD, and the drawing files conversion in I-DEAS. These prove the ASIC is an effective and successful way in enterprise engineer integration.
