Description
Summary:This paper presents a computer-integrated system for design, manufacturing simulation, and inspection using a coordinate measurement machine (CMM). The work is concerned with the problem of predicting the shape of the container for hot isostatic pressing (HIP) and it focuses on the verification of a finite element (FE) simulation model for HIP. The verification is performed by comparing the simulated geometry of a real component produced by HIP. The geometry of the HIP component is measured by a CMM. The whole process from design and manufactunng simulation to inspection and geometry verification is performed within a computer-aided concurrent engineering (CACE) system. The system is built on both commercial and non-commercial software. The communication between a CMM, a geometnc modelling system, and the finite element simulation codes is developed. The manufacturing of a turbine component to net shape geometry using HIP is chosen as a demonstrator example. The benefits of the presented CACE system are time and cost savings as well as higher product quality.
