Integrated Simulation Method Based on Manufacturing Characteristics

At present, the simulation model does not fully reflect the effects of machining errors, surface quality and assembly errors which are produced during the manufacturing process on the performance of parts. This makes the simulation results differ greatly from experiment results. In order to solve this problem, simulation modeling technology of the performance of mechanical system based on manufacturing characteristics is proposed. This technology includes parametric modeling technology and a novel simulation modeling method. An integrated parametric simulation system which takes into account the manufacturing characteristics is established. For illustration, a micro gear mechanism with high load is utilized to verify the feasibility of the simulation method and the validity of the simulation platform. The results show that the integrated simulation method based on manufacturing characteristics can make the simulation model similar to the practical situation. This method can provide theoretical and technical support to predict the performance of micro mechanical systems.
