Simulação de sistemas de manufatura baseada na geometria da peça

Abstract

Currently, with the diversification of products demanded, manufacturing systems have become increasingly complex and difficult operation. Hardly responsible for manufacturing has all the information necessary to anticipate the details necessary for its implementation. On the other hand, companies don´t have the time or resources to evaluate alternative manufacturing the real system. Thus, the simulation based on part geometry becomes important, as accurately portrays the characteristics of the product being manufactured, making management of manufacturing easy. The objective of this work is to show how to simulate manufacturing systems from the geometry of the piece composed by Features. From the simulation, the user can make decisions related to the times and costs of manufacturing without changing the routine of business. For the development work was carried out a bibliographic review of the areas of Manufacturing Systems, Simulation and Features. With respect to research methodology, the work was an applied nature, the approach is quantitative, it is an exploratory research and the technical procedure used in this study was the simulation. To analyze the advantages and limitations of the approach proposed in this work was performed the simulation of a manufacturing system specific.
