Synchronized Collaborative Design
A preliminary study on synchronized
collaborative design based on heterogeneous CAD systems
Abstract
This paper introduces
a preliminary research work of synchronized collaborative design based on heterogeneous
CAD systems. By analyzing several typical CAD systems, we set up a number of
neutral commands corresponding to the basic modeling operations of CAD systems.
Based on the neutral commands, communication between heterogeneous CAD systems
is achieved. Furthermore, synchronized collaborative design is realized by real-time
capturing and transferring of modeling operations between distributed heterogeneous
CAD systems. A prototype of synchronized collaborative design is developed based
on two common CAD systems MDT and SOLIDWORKS with their APIs and VC++. The preliminary
test results show the proposed approach promising.
