Feature-based modelling has been considered as an indispensable tool for integrating CAD/CAPP systems. One of its advantages over conventional geometric modelling is the ability to associate not only geometric and topological information, but also form features, tolerances, material properties and other information which may be used during the process planning. This paper presents a STEP-based feature modeller (STEP-FM) for prismatic parts. High-level three-dimensional solid features are used as the basic entities for part design. The modeller relies on three main steps; ( 1) selection of the part base shape and overall size, ( 2) selection of the features to be added to or subtracted from the part being designed, and ( 3) providing information needed to de. ne feature size, position, orientation and other attributes such as surface finish, tolerances, etc. The designed part is then exported as a STEP XML data format ( according to ISO 2000). This. le can be used to integrate into CAPP/CAM systems without using a complex feature recognition process. An object-oriented approach is used in the definition and implementation of the product model. This approach overs advantages of incremental system development and reusability. An example is given to demonstrate the application of the developed modeller.

Dissimilarity maximization method for real-time routing of parts in random flexible manufacturing systems Saygin, C; Kilic, SE (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2004-04-01) This paper presents a dissimilarity maximization method (DMM) for real-time routing selection and compares it via simulation with typical priority rules commonly used in scheduling and control of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs). DMM aims to reduce the congestion in the system by selecting a routing for each part among its alternative routings such that the overall dissimilarity among the selected routings is maximized. In order to evaluate the performance of DMM, a random FMS, where the product mix is...
Discrete size optimization of steel trusses using a refined big bang-big crunch algorithm Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (Informa UK Limited, 2014-01-02) This article presents a methodology that provides a method for design optimization of steel truss structures based on a refined big bang-big crunch (BB-BC) algorithm. It is shown that a standard formulation of the BB-BC algorithm occasionally falls short of producing acceptable solutions to problems from discrete size optimum design of steel trusses. A reformulation of the algorithm is proposed and implemented for design optimization of various discrete truss structures according to American Institute of St...
Interactive evolutionary approaches to multiobjective feature selection ÖZMEN, müberra; Karakaya, Gülşah; KÖKSALAN, MUSTAFA MURAT (Wiley, 2018-05-01) In feature selection problems, the aim is to select a subset of features to characterize an output of interest. In characterizing an output, we may want to consider multiple objectives such as maximizing classification performance, minimizing number of selected features or cost, etc. We develop a preference-based approach for multiobjective feature selection problems. Finding all Pareto-optimal subsets may turn out to be a computationally demanding problem and we still would need to select a solution. There...
Flexibility analysis: a methodology and a case study Kahyaoglu, Y; Kayaligil, S; Buzacott, JA (Informa UK Limited, 2002-11-10) A methodology for analysing manufacturing flexibility is proposed. A real-life case is discussed to demonstrate the proposed methodology. The case involves the grinding operations of an engine manufacturer. As an integral part of the methodology, statistical analyses using response surface methodology are carried out. Potential applications of the proposed methodology are discussed. Planning models and flexibility measure used are outlined in the appendices.
Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with Simulated Annealing for Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling BETTEMİR, ÖNDER HALİS; Sönmez, Rifat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2015-09-01) Resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is a very important optimization problem in construction project management. Despite the importance of the RCPSP in project scheduling and management, commercial project management software provides very limited capabilities for the RCPSP. In this paper, a hybrid strategy based on genetic algorithms, and simulated annealing is presented for the RCPSP. The strategy aims to integrate parallel search ability of genetic algorithms with fine tuning capabili...
