Computer-aided design system

Nonimpact Printing. Interest is growing ia the use of nonimpact styles because of the quickness of color changeover and the abiUty to iaterface these machines to computer-aided design systems. Two basic types exist drop on demand and constant drop techniques. 

Subdivision curves are parametric curves, and they can be incorporated within Computer-Aided-Design systems as such. Although each curve scheme will need its own low-level evaluation process, much of the mechanism required is standard within CAGD theory and within CAD systems. 

For the geometrical layout of a mold, CAD (Computer Aided Design) systems are available nowadays, with which an injection molding tool cannot only be described by two-dimensional drawings, but also shown as a complete 3-D model. The latter is of particular interest for the description of the often complex, shape-giving mold contours. The input for producing such a model... 

The flow and heating analyses that have been developed into CAD (computer aided design) systems for IM (Chapter 2) are now also being applied in CM and TM. They facilitate the construction of molds, by locating cavities, sizing runners, and locating heater lines (electric, steam, etc.) and other devices to meet cost/performance objectives (1, 82, 110-112).

The rapid increase in computer applications is partly attributable to both the decreasing costs of hardware and software and to the increasing costs of human labor. This shift has given rise to a productivity factor assigned to various tasks performed by computers versus people. One figure recently quoted was a minimum factor of 4 to 5 for CAD (computer aided design), that is, one draftsman with a CAD system can replace 4 to 5 manual draftsmen. 

The UNIQUAC equation developed by Abrams and Prausnitz is usually preferred to the NRTL equation in the computer aided design of separation processes. It is suitable for miscible and immiscible systems, and so can be used for vapour-liquid and liquid-liquid systems. As with the Wilson and NRTL equations, the equilibrium compositions for a multicomponent mixture can be predicted from experimental data for the binary pairs that comprise the mixture. Also, in the absence of experimental data for the binary pairs, the coefficients for use in the UNIQUAC equation can be predicted by a group contribution method UNIFAC, described below. 

Computer aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacture (CAM) programs have been developed to carry out the necessary calculations. One current system known as Polyflow is offered by a Belgian organisation (Polyflow SA). Polyflow can be used to calculate three-dimensional flow and die swell, using finite element analysis. Other systems are available.

Few systems genuinely allow end users to make arbitrary extensions those that allow it must provide a programming or scripting language of some sort. Normally there is some restriction all the additions fit within a framework. An example is a computer aided design (CAD) system, in which new kinds of mechanical parts can be added and the users... 

Rosenbrock (Computer-Aided Control System Design, Academic Press, 1974) was one of the early woikers in the area of multivariable control. He proposed the use of INA plots to indicate the amount of interaction among the loops. 

Dubois et al. developed the Description, Acquisition, Retrieval, Computer-aided design-Elucidation by Progressive Intersection of Ordered Structures (DARC-EPIOS) system for structural elucidation.Their approach was based on C spectra. These were predicted using an additive method, but based on their DARC descriptor of environment, as opposed to the more common HOSE code. The EPIOS system was designed to take account of the diagnostic (or not) nature of the C spectrum with respect to environment, i.e., depending on the specific sub-structures.
