In mechanical industry, design process requires more time because it is iterative process and requires
experienced people. We know that there are many CAD packages available in the market for design which demands
modeling skills. It has been observed that many research efforts have been made in the area of design automation like
integration of different CAD software like Creo Parametric, CATIA, SolidWorks with different computer
programming languages like Visual Basic, Java, C++.But it is observed that Visual Basic is having some advantages
over others like it will give us best frame work for product design input base as well as it can be easily interface with
intermediate software like MS-excel which provides an input to other modeling or analysis software and among all
available parametric modeling software Creo is widely used in industries. During the literature review, it is observed
that integration of GUI or tailor made software development using a computer programming language with modeling
software is done till now but further integration with analysis software is not done yet. This integration plays very
important role for design automation of complicated assemblies which will definitely save much time of product design
and development phase.

A Survey of Automated Process Planning Approaches in MachiningDr. Amarjeet Singh
Global industrial trend is shifting towards next
industrial revolution Industry 4.0. It is becoming increasingly
important for modern manufacturing industries to develop a
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) system by
integrating the various operational and information
processing functions in design and manufacturing. In spite of
being active in research for almost four decades, it is clear
that new functionalities are needed to integrate and realize a
completely optimal process planning which can be fully
compliant towards Smart Factory. In order to develop a CIM
system, Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) plays a
key role and therefore it has been the focus of many
researchers. In order to gain insight into the current state-ofthe-art of CAPP methodologies, 96 research papers have been
reviewed. Subsequent sections discuss the different CAPP
approaches adopted by researchers to automate different
process planning tasks. This paper aims at addressing the key
approaches involved and future directions towards Smart

Development of fixture_to_reduce_the_cycle_time_of_c_8_griding_machineLaukik Raut
“What a difference a second makes” – a quote from an empowered employee. Just one second over a ten
second continuous cycle can mean your line runs consistently 10% faster, the difference between comfortably
achieving tight production schedules or continually being capacity constrained.[1] This work presents a new
approach for the reduction of process cycle time and its impact on a company's competitive edge. Reduction in
cycle time has been gaining significant attention in recent times. The shorter cycle times effect in higher
consumer satisfaction, lower manufacturing rate, higher yield, and better potential given tool inventory and
facility constraints. This research paper provides a brief review of core approaches related to cycle time and
also describes a methodology for cycle time reduction in any manufacturing and automobile production
industry. It includes the assessment and potential gains of the projected cycle time reduction methodology
Performance analysis of ic engine using air energizerLaukik Raut
In normal circumstances, due to incomplete combustion, 30% of the fuel remains unburnt and is emitted in the form of black
smoke, causing air pollution. Moreover, the carbon originating from incomplete fuel combustions, settles on the spark plug and
on the engine piston, thus diminishing the compression capacity of the piston and increasing the friction factor. This rate of
carbon deposition increases especially in city driving, as the engine works much of the time at part throttle. Excess carbon
decreases the compression ratio of the engine which ultimately robs the engine of its power, due to acute knocking or detonation.
The above problem can be reduced to some extent by making use of paramagnetic property of oxygen present in the incoming air
i.e. by passing the air through external magnetic field
Computer aided fixture design for machining of key waysLaukik Raut
Eccentric shaft play an important role in application of
ginning machine. Machining of keyways on eccentric
shaft is a important task. Machining on simple shaft is
easy as compare to eccentric shaft by conventional
process. machining of keyways on eccentric shaft is a
time consuming process, so reducing this time is a main
aim.
The job having a cylindrical shape and number of
keyways are required on it at an different position. This
is a challenging task for design engineer and hence
Computer Aided Fixture Design (CAFD) is incorporated
in manufacturing industry. It deals with the integration
of CAD and CNC programming in CAM systems using
software’s for fixture design. Except V block, no other
option is available to hold cylindrical object and hence
special type of fixture is designed for this case, which can
be used for machining of keyway on eccentric shaft.
Fixtures reduce operation time and increases
productivity and high quality of operation is possible.
Finite element analysis of impact socket used in torque wrenchLaukik Raut
In this study, the failure of impact socket has been selected as investigation topic
in Minar hydrosystems private limited, Nagpur. It essentially focuses on stress analysis.
Minar Hydrosystems Private Limited is leading manufacturing and supplier of hydraulic
tools. Impact socket is a tool designed to exert a torque on a fastener to achieve proper
tightening or loosening of a connection. The problem identified here is the failure of male
hex end of impact socket. Some of the impact socket observed wear of corners of male hex.
The impact socket failed due to torsional loading which causes for shear failure. The
analysis has been carried out for static loading. Finite element analysis revealed that the
stresses acting at failure region are exceeding the yield stress value. A 3D modeling
software Cero 1.0 is used to prepare a CAD model of impact socket and evaluate the
results in the form of stresses by applying calculated loads in the finite element analysis
software ANSYS 12.0.
Warpage simulation of manhole cover using auto cast x softwareLaukik Raut
Designing an appropriate gating/risering system, some defects can be minimized such as cracks, distortion, shrinkage
porosity, warpage, sink, and shrinkage cavity by simulating the directional solidification using casting software. In this study, the
component from industry i.e. manhole cover is leading to premature failure of warpage or distortion. Hence, there is requirement
of optimizing the appropriate gating/risering system. In this paper, the actual gating/risering system is simulated to minimize the
warpage defect occurring in the industry while manufacturing. Hence, the simulation for optimizing better gating/risering system
is done by using AutoCAST-X software which is based on Vector Gradient Method (VGM) for defect minimization
An optimal design approach for adamite hot rolling mill rollLaukik Raut
In this paper, micro-structural, mechanical and tribological behaviors of roll materials i.e. high speed steel
(HSS), high chromium iron (HiCr), indefinite chill irons (IC) and other have been reviewed. The technological process of
the rolling consists of many factors that influencing the fatigue life of rolls like rolling temperature, roll groove design,
rolling speed and turning due to wearing. These parameters are analyzed to advance maximum fatigue life of the rolls as
well as to shrink overall energy consumption, increase production and decrease overall costs. Finite element analysis of
adamite roll is carried out by applying process parameters and variables at high temperature those are responsible for
roll wear. According to appropriate chemical properties, microstructure and mechanical property some new wearresistant roll grades for conventional hot rolling process is suggested.
Vibration analysis of ci engine using fft analyzerLaukik Raut
In automobile industry, the vibrations generated in the IC engine affects the performance of the vehicle and quality of comfort
while riding the vehicle. The factors which are affected under continuous vibration of IC engine are drivability, stability and
comfort. All these factors are reducing while there is an increase in vibrations produced by the engine. Reciprocating as well as
rotating parts of the engine are producing vibrations continuously in the internal combustion engine. The inertial forces are
produced by these reciprocating and rotating parts. These inertial forces are changing with compression and combustion
characteristics inside the engine. The vibrations produced by the engine can be minimized by reducing those unbalanced forces
generated during its functioning, otherwise anti vibration mounts are placed in between engine and its base. Many researchers
have performed experimentations to see reasons behind the vibration generations also to reduce vibrations at interface between
engine and its base. In this paper a thorough collection of data related to engine vibrations is made to provide a platform for
future work. It encompasses various work carried on engine rigid body modeling. The paper is framed as engine rigid body
modeling, engine vibrations in detail and at last some experimental work performed on a single cylinder diesel engine to measure
vibrations using FFT spectrum analyzer.

The air pollution exceedance status of an urban area has been studied for three different location for six
different air pollutants such as Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of nitrogen (NOx), by Wet chemical method
(West & Gaeke Method & Jacob & Hochheiser Method), Heavy Metal (Pb) by ICP-OES (Perkin Elmer),
and PAHs [benzo(a)anthracene] & Fluoranthene by using GC (Perkin Elmer), and Particulate Matter
(SPM, PM10,) by Federal Reference Method (Rupprecht & Patashnick Co.In) for one annual cyclic season
along with meteorological data (wind speed and direction). Seasonally variation of air pollution
parameters with respect to month throughout one year was studies and it has been observed that a suitable
control over few pollutants is needed in all the land uses. The air purification system is hence evaluated for
varying land uses. These results can be effectively used as tool for designing of air purification system.
Efficiency analysis of hydraulic power steering systemLaukik Raut
Hydraulic assisted power steering
system is a high bandwidth servo with stringent
performance requirements on accuracy,
reliability, and cost. Design of such a system can
be best achieved by using a validated and user
friendly computer simulation program.

process parameter. Even in completely controlled process, defect in casting are observed and hence casting process is also
known as process of uncertainty which challenges explanation about the cause of casting defects. In order to reduce warpage
defects and problem related to warpage defects, the study is aimed in this paper. Many products are made by using casting
process as it is economical and has the ability to produce intricate shapes. So far, casting defect analysis has been carried out
using techniques like finite element method and modulus method to reduce defects. . Casting software can optimize the virtual
castings so that real castings can be produced ‘right first time and every time’.

A review on design and development of eccentric shaft for cottonLaukik Raut
The present review provides brief information about
the design of eccentric shaft for cotton ginning
machine. The author suggest that, significant of
eccentric shaft are as follows,
1. Due to the small eccentric distance in design of
eccentric shaft; friction torque is very small, which
result in small friction loss and high system
efficiency.
2. The torque acted on motor increased as eccentric
distance expanded which result in poor force
condition and complicate structure.
3. Eccentric shaft are usually with features of small
eccentric distance, thus its can only provide small
displacement.
Eccentric shaft is the important element, which play
the important role in ginning operation. These shafts
provide an oscillatory motion or action to moving
knives. Eccentric shaft is required in various
industries according to their application. In
traditional case, implementation of the proper
selection of raw material, latest and advance
methodologies is typical task.
Examination of parametric linkages reveals that
eccentric shaft life is dependent on load acting on the
eccentric shaft, its geometry, metallurgical properties
and wear. Today in design and development of
eccentric shaft by using the good quality of raw
material that is alloy steel with composition of Fe
(98.5%), Al (0.5%), C (0.5%), and Mo (0.5%) by
using that composition the life of eccentric shaft is
increases. latest and advance methodologies for
ginning machine increases productivity and high
quality of operation is possible

Abstract- In mechanical industry, design process requires more time because it is iterative process and requires
experienced people. We know that there are many CAD packages available in the market for design which demands
modeling skills. It has been observed that many research efforts have been made in the area of design automation like
integration of different CAD software like Creo Parametric, CATIA, SolidWorks with different computer
programming languages like Visual Basic, Java, C++.But it is observed that Visual Basic is having some advantages
over others like it will give us best frame work for product design input base as well as it can be easily interface with
intermediate software like MS-excel which provides an input to other modeling or analysis software and among all
available parametric modeling software Creo is widely used in industries. During the literature review, it is observed
that integration of GUI or tailor made software development using a computer programming language with modeling
software is done till now but further integration with analysis software is not done yet. This integration plays very
important role for design automation of complicated assemblies which will definitely save much time of product design
and development phase.
Keywords –Design Automation, CAD, GUI, KBE, Parametric Modeling.
I. INTRODUCTION
In recent trends of research and development field, every industry strives to do the maximum automation in every
department. Design phase is the most time consuming phase of the product design and development stages, the
main reason behind this is that it is an iterative process which requires complete knowledge of design of machine
elements and every time highly skilled draftsman or persons having complete modeling knowledge are required.
Nowadays best of the best innovations are coming into picture, in these, researchers have made one way to reduce
maximum design time by doing design automation concept which means integration of GUI developed with the
help of computer programming language and market available CAD packages. Graphical User Interface (GUI) is
the only way for users to communicate with the system. Design automation is the process to automate conventional
manual design process by use of computer. Most of the time information or knowledge of any product design is
available in database of system. This knowledge can be stand past experience, standard design procedure, design
manuals, etc. There are a number of software available for drafting, modeling as well as for analysis like ProE,
CATIA, CREO Parametric, SolidWorks, Hypermesh, ANSYS etc. But no specific software is available for the
design of a specific product. So by this dissertation approach it is very important to make one tailor-made software
which will be useful for complete design of a specific component and output of the software should easily be
integrated with other software of modeling and analysis which are highlighted above. To develop this software use
of computer programming language is necessary. This work can be done in any computer programming language
like Java, C++. But output from Visual Basic can be easily interface with further software like MS-excel which
provides an input to other modeling or analysis software. For the design and modeling of the product time is
generally 55-65 % of overall time of the product development. It has been observed that design phase has a lot of
potential where time can be saved and parametric modeling is the best option for saving the modeling time also

3. knowledge based approach can be useful for saving the design time. With the help of design automation lot of same
calculation can be saved avoiding complex work. During review it has been observed that Creo 2.0 software is the
best option as modeling software because it is having strong parameterization. The main purpose of this design
automation is to create a solution which will satisfy the designer requirements in an innovative direction. We know
that designer spends more time in understanding the existing designs and dealing with the tasks associated with the
already existed design modifications. Lots of engineering man hours gets wasted for doing repetitive tasks of
modeling and analysis of the existing designs.
II.LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Design Automation
Many research efforts have been made in the area of design automation. Kirankumar M. et al [1] discussed about
the development of one tailor made software which is used for complete design of flange coupling. This software
is developed using Visual Basic as a computer programming language and CREO parametric as modelling
software and explained that with the help of methodology used having three phases, are design phase, integration
phase and modelling phase. Abhishek Lad [2] discussed about design and drawing automation of different
components of a horizontal winding machine. It is observed that with this integration they have saved 80% of
time of designing and hence significant amount of cost has been saved and bill of material of complicated
assembly having many numbers of mechanical components can be easily obtained with this integration. For this,
they have used VB.Net as a computer programming language and Solid Works API and taken the case study of
horizontal winding machine. Chu et al [3]developed computer aided parametric design automation for 3D tire
mold production. Shah Dhaval et al[4] described parametric modelling and drawing automation for the case study
of flange coupling using Microsoft Excel and it has been observed that this automation has taken very less time
as compared to general conventional design processes. They have shown how to generate excel spreadsheet, how
to generate models and how to transfer data from excel sheet to Pro/E. Also, a suggestion has been given that this
automation can further be extended to analysis or CAM packages. Yogesh H. Sawant et al [5] has done automated
modelling of screw conveyor components in CATIA, they developed system which is used for the generation of
18 components having 29 subcomponents. User can simply enter the parameters of the component via developed
GUI, the system automatically updates 3D model.
B. Knowledge Base Engineering
Knowledge Base Engineering (KBE) is nothing but an automation of repetitive design tasks depends on previous
knowledge of the designer. KBE is a process or system which collects and organizes this knowledge and makes it
available for the designer in the reusable form. Knowledge-based engineering (KBE) provides a way of automating
and formalizing product development. Zhongtu L. et al [6], in this paper, it has been observed that they have
developed CAD system for mechanical design processes which uses a knowledge base approach and the system
was developed for the Intesolid 2.0. GoranDevedzic et al [7] said that the basis for the implementation and
development of knowledge-based engineering is a parametric explanation of the computer representations of real
geometric objects with dimensional, physical, functional, and other sets of parameters. Fonseca D. J. et al [8]
developed a knowledge base system for selection of conveyor equipment. They created an expert system for
identifying the suitable conveyor from three categories of conveyors (unit, bulk and sortation conveyors) with 76
types of conveyor by simply entering the conveyor attributes. Zhangtu L.et al [6] described the knowledge base
system approach for mechanical product design. They developed a knowledge base system for Intesolid 2.0 system
(CAD system) and with this module they explain examples of 3D model generation of two-stage gear box. Hussein
H. M. A [9]constructed a knowledge base system for sheet metal blanking dies. This system was built under CATIA
V5 and the program was scripted in Visual Basic. Sanshan Z. et al [10] developed GUI for composite component
design by using VB.NET computer programming language. They have integrated that developed tailor-made
software with CATIA software.
C. Parametric Modelling
Parametric modeling can be used for saving the modeling time. Parametric modeling is very useful and strong
tool for mechanical design in industries. Gulati V [11] discussed about the parametric modeling for jewelry in
Visual Basics Application with AutoCAD under programming language environment with the help of that active
automation is done. They have used this parametric modelling concept for modelling of jewelry which is really
unique. Ault H.K [12] has discussed the basic concepts of parametric modeling. Mandarin J. [13] describes the
evolution of parametric technique. Macros are one type of tool which be used for remodeling. Script of commands

4. and data values are generally recorded in the Macros to generate new model. Pipe and Lufeng [14], created the
gear shaft using Pro/E concept and Visual Basic C++ programming environment. In this, the GUI is developed
with the help of Visual Basic C++ and successful integration of GUI, database and Pro/E CAD model is done for
the creation of driving gear shaft. Trivedi et al [15] explained the methods of 3D parametric modelling for different
products using case studies on the inner ring of spherical roller bearing. They have described the integration
method of Pro/E and MS-Excel sheet.
D. Visual Basic
Visual Basic is a computer programming language which gives us dot net framework. VB. Net is mainly used for
designing the forms and projects. Ruchika D. Trivedi et al [15] has discussed about how to make excel datasheet
and how to transfer data from excel sheet to Pro/E to do design automation. Thus, at the end excel sheet is
connected with the Pro/E model. User can modify the model just by updating the site. This takes comparatively
very less time to generate complicated part models with respect to generating them separately. R. K. Abdel et al
[16]has done work on a CAD system for building a die set. They have discussed and gave information about how
to make GUI using visual basic (VB) interfacing with AutoCAD. It shows how integration between a selection of
die set of the blanking die and the automatic design of the die set to be useful. J Shankar et al [17] they describe
how to do automation of design phase in solid modelling with Pro/E can be integrated with MS-Excel using visual
basic programming language.
III. EXPERIMENTATION

In above input variables, some variables like allowable circumferential stress for cylinder, bending stress
and cylinder wall pressure for piston design depend on the selected material. With this developed GUI, it has been
observed that the design of these parts is done within few seconds while these calculations takes much time when
done manually.

B. Transfer of ouput data from GUI to Excel sheet
CAD software like Creo Parametric, CATIA, Pro/E are having the facility to import data from different database in the form of
excel sheet to update the model. This type of integration of different software is very useful to do automation in mechanical design
which saves a huge amount of design time. In this paper, output from the developed GUI is exported to the excel sheet as shown by
clicking on the button Excel File in the GUI and this output will be helpful to integrate with the Creo Parametric 2.0 to do design
automation. After integration, user can simply modify the CAD model just by modifying excel data sheet.

D. Procedure of integration :-
To understand the concept of integration, here example of piston has taken. After creating excel sheet, open individual
parts of assembly. With the help of analysis menu available in Creo Parametric 2.0 in that go to excel analysis. New
window will appear on screen as shown in picture. Go to load file as marked 1 in circle and load that excel file generated
using visual basic then select output values of design of that particular part then click on output cells button marked as 2
then click on compute button marked as 3. Then go to add feature and enter the name of that excel file there and close this
window. Then go to tools of menu bar, in that click on relations. Here assign all required dimensions to be updated from
excel sheet to the dimensions of model. So the software will understand that which cell value of excel sheet is for which
dimension of model. User should know that which output value is going to be use for which dimension

8. After all these actions, just go to model menu on menu bar and click on regenerate marked as 4 in picture
shown. This completes the complete procedure of model updating of that particular part. Further user wants to
update the dimensions of that model then just go to excel sheet as marked as 5 and right click on that and click
on edit definition then click on next button. As user clicks on next button excel file gets open on screen, just
update that sheet and regenerate the model. Within seconds, models gets updated. Repeat the same procedure for
all parts. After update of all individual parts of any assembly just open assembly file and click on regenerate
button , automatically complete assembly gets updated. Firstly user has to do these first 4 steps, after these 4
steps user has to only open excel sheet and update that excel sheet to get required updated model.

E. Simulation of CI engine processes
In engineering, simulation process has come to mean developing and using the appropriate combination of
assumptions and equations that permit the process to be analyzed. The modelling of engine processes continues
to develop as our basic understanding of the chemistry and physics of the phenomena of interest steadily expands.
Computer simulation activities can make major contributions to engine design at different levels of generality or
detail, corresponding to at different stages of model development.
In the above shown GUI, one column of simulation having input variables bore, stroke, connecting rod length,
speed and compression ratio is there. With the help of these inputs, simulation of CI engine process will be done
in the form of real time graphs of Pressure (bar) Vs. Crank angle (degree), Volume (cc) Vs. Crank angle (degree)
and Temperature (Kelvin) Vs. Crank angle (degree). Here simulation is done for compression stroke, combustion
stroke and expansion stroke of CI engine and gives each value of pressure, temperature and volume at each crank
angle in the form of real time graph as shown. With this, user can easily analyze how the process is happening in
the engine.

9. IV.CONCLUSION
Nowadays it is very important to make maximum automation in all the sectors or department of an industry.
With the help of this integration of developed GUI and parametric modeling software or CAD packages available
in the market has lots of potential to reduce design time by huge amounts. It has been observed that among all
computer programming languages available Visual Basic is more suitable and similarly in the case of CAD
software CreoParametric 2.0 is more suitable for design automation. The software developer has the freedom to
develop more and more advance software. In future, integration of design and modelling phase can be extended
to integrate with an analysis phase to do the complete automation which will play very crucial role in automation.
