摘要

本研究運用電腦整合設計的概念，將傳統之船用軸系設計予以自動化，利用參數式設計、交談式介面、物件導向式資料庫及分散式處理架構為設計基礎，將設計過程的強度計算、校中計算、扭轉振動計算及下垂量與間隙計算運用電腦加以整合，不論投標估價或完整設計，皆可迅速完成設計及出圖，不僅能預估所需成本，準確投標，亦可輔助整體設計，做到節省人力、縮短工時及降低成本，達到高效能之生產。

This research proposes an Object-Oriented Database (OODB) system that integrates computer-aided systems and parts component repository to automate a traditional propulsion shaft design for a shipyard. The software system is based on three concepts: an object-oriented graphic user interface, a parametric design, and a shared component database. Calculations of strength, alignment, vibrations, and sag & gap for the shaft design can therefore be completely integrated. All of the data produced in the CAD processes can be managed, integrated and applied in the OODB system. Furthermore, to easily integrate the systems developed at different periods of time, a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) infrastructure is introduced to facilitates an object-oriented data flow bus exchanging data during the design stage. In the estimation or design process, all of the design and drawing output can be completed in a considerable short time. By integration of the shaft design process, precise estimation of design cost can be determined. A highly efficient production can be made due to the fact that working hours, costs and construction span times are reduced.
