Synchronized Collaborative Design
An approach
to supporting synchronized collaborative design within heterogeneous CAD systems
Abstract
This paper presents
an approach to building up a synchronized collaborative design platform upon
heterogeneous CAD systems. In the approach, Neutral Modeling Commands are used
to achieve the real-time exchange of modeling operations between heterogeneous
CAD systems. For the Neutral Modeling Commands, an object oriented representation
is given and employed to support the translation between System Modeling Operations
(SMO) and Neutral Modeling Commands (NMC). Moreover, two kinds of translators,
SMO-to-NMC and NMC-to-SMO, are established, which can deal with modification/deletion
operations and composite features and user-defined features besides common creation
operations. The preliminary test results show that the proposed approach is
promising.
