Ship Oil Unit Three-dimensional Visual Design

In modern shipping industry, the oil-feed unit, which provides power for ship, is an important component. Many manufacturing enterprises, especially the middle and small enterprise, still design and manufacture the oil-feed unit by 2D design. In one hand, because the design work isn't visualized, the design quality isn't easily assured and the design errors are easily caused. On the other hand, in the process of manufacturing oil-feed unit, the length of oil-pipe is unknown beforehand, thus the production is hardly managed, and the material is also wasted easily.For solving all these problems, through applying visualization technology of engineer design to the design of oil-feed unit, this paper constructs the entity model of oil-feed unit, establish the three-dimensional standard parts, implement the semi-automated and automated connect, and produce automatically the 2D or 3D part drawings. Using this system the designer can observe and evaluate the space model of the unit, discuss the feasibility of space layout and the probable errors, so that the decision can be optimized and the competition of enterprise can be improved greatly.
