Conveyor drive design in Compas 3D system

Introduction. Engineers often face problems associated with design and technological preparation of production and with improving the technical documentation quality. These problems can be solved using CAD/CAE/CALS-technology in industrial production. Design engineering products is related to modeling parts and assemblies in 3D CAD graphics, followed by engineering analysis. The authors demonstrate the sequence of the conveyor drive design using COMPAS application libraries. Materials and Methods. А conveyor drive mechanical transmission was calculated and simulated using COMPAS application libraries. Design calculation and construction of COMPAS 3D model are present in the article. Results. The authors proposed their method of the conveyor drive design using COMPAS 3D libraries. Discussion and Conclusions. The method of a 3D conveyor drive model design with the choice of the necessary parameters for design, calculation and simulation of mechanical transmissions as a part of the projected product was developed. The proposed technique allows using the capabilities of modern CAD software for product design related things ensuring time reduction for preparation of production, and promoting economic efficiency.
