Jovanovic J., Bulatovic R.
Savremeni trendovi pred konstruktore kao jedan od prioritetnih zahtjeva postavljaju postovanje
vrlo rigoroznih vremenskih rokova za razvoj novog proizvoda. Shodno tome povecanje efikasnosti u
svim fazama razvoja novog proizvoda diktat je vremena u kojem zivimo. Jedan od mogucih puteva
za postizanje ovog cilja lezi u sto je moguce vecern stepenu automatizacije svih faza u razvoju novog
proizvoda. U tom smislu integracija postojecih CAD sistema u ActiveX okruzenje je najvjerovatniji
put kojim ce se povecavati efikasnost rada konstruktora. Stoga se u ovom radu daje prikaz
rnogucnosti nadgradnje postojecih CAD alata koriscenjern ActiveXkomponenti u cilju povecavanja
efikasnosti rada u pojedinim fazama konstruisanja.
Modern trends imposed to designers as priorities, imply respecting very rigorous deadlines for
developing a new product. Having this in mind, the efficiency increase in all the development phases
of a new product is an order put on us by the time we are living in .. One of the ways to obtain this
aim lies in an as higher automatization degree of all the phases in the development of a new product
as possible. In this sense, an integration of the existing CAD systems into ActiveX environment is
the most probable way to increase the designer's work efficiency. Thus, a surway of the possibilities
of the existing CAD tools superstructuring by using ActiveX components aiming at increasing
working efficiency in single design phases.

1. Uvod

1. Introduction

Najznacajniji svetski lider u formiranju osnovnih

pravaca razvoja operativnih sistema i softvera
arne ricka kompanija Microsoft zadnjih godina ulaze
izuzetan trud da od Visual Basic-a (VB) napravi
programski jezik Office okruzenja. Takav trend
konacno je u potpunosti zaokruzen pojavom Officea 97 i ukljucivanjern Visual Basic-a u sve Office
programe i to u varijanti Visual Basic for
epplicstioa (VBA). Konacni cilj Microsoft-a da od
Visual Basic-a napravi univerzalni programski jezik
Windows okruzenja postao je ocigledan nakon sto
je Microsoft poceo da slobodno dijeli licence VBA
za sve 32-bitne Windows platforme proizvodacima
programa zainteresovanim da ga koriste kao
sastavni dio sopstvenih proizvoda. Buduci da se u
prethodnim godinama Microsoft-ova razvojna
strategija iskristalisala kao jedna od rijetkih
konstanti u svijetu informacionih tehnologija to se
sa visokim stepenom sigurnosti rnoze ocekivati da u

The most important world leader in forming the

operating system and software development trends
Microsoft company has been making efforts to
make the program language of the Office
environment out of Visual Basic (VB). Such a trend
has been completed by the introduction of Office 97
and Visual Basic for Application (VBA). The final
goal of Microsoft to make an universal program
language of Windows environment out of Visual
Basic, has become evident after Microsoft has
begun to give the VBA licences for all 32-bit
Windows platforms to the software producers
interested to use it as an integrated part of its own
products. As the Microsoft's development has been
established in the recent years like one of the rare
constants in the world of information technologies,
it might be expected, for sure, that VBA become an
integral part of all the programs made for Windows
environment in the years to come. Following these

narednim godinama YBA postane sastavni dio svih

programa pravljenih za Windows okruzenje. Sledeci
ovakva oce kivanja, arnericka kompanija, AutoDesk
proizvodac softvera iz oblasti grafike, poznat po
programima: AutoCAD, Mechanical desktop, 3D
Studio.., je razvila objektne modele ucinivsi tako
YBA sastavnim djelorn najnovije generacije svojih
programa. Na taj nacin je ornoguceno da se ovi
programi koriste kao ActiveX komponente koje su
osnova programiranja u YB i YBA. Ukoliko svi
znacajni proizvodaci softvera krenu ovim putem, a
sto je vrlo vjerovatno, u najskorijoj buducnosti nas
ocekuje mogucnost integracije i nadgradnje
postojecih programa u ActiveX okruzenju.
2. Mogucnost povecanja efikasnosti procesa
konstruisanja
Pre rna konstrukcionom resenju svi proizvodi
metalopreradivacke industrije mogu se svrstati u
neku od sledecih grupa(l]:
-proizvodi sa ponovljenom konstrukcijom
-proizvodi sa konstrukcijom sa cvrstirn principom
kod kojih se zadrzava princip rada nekog od
prethodnih konstrukcionih resenja, a djelimicno se
mjenjaju oblici i dimenzije djelova
-proizvodi sa prilagodenom konstrukcijom kod
kojih je princip rada "kopiran" sa proizvoda koji
je namjenjen za neku drugu funkciju i potom
prilagoden novoj funkciji usled cega se djelovi i
sklopovi moraju prilagcdavati novim uslovima
-proizvodi sa novom konstrukcijom ciji je princip
rada nov kao i pojedini sastavni djelovi.
Djelovi od kojih se sastoji neki proizvod mogu se
svrstati u neku od sledecih grupa:
-opsti masinski elementi u koje spadaju masinski
djelovi standardizovanih oblika i dimenzija (vijci,
lezaji, klinovi...)
-masinski djelovi ponovljivih i uobicajenih oblika
-novi rnasinski djelovi ciji je oblik nov i prilagoderi
specificnostima novog proizvoda.
Vecina malih i srednjih, cak i neke velike firme iz
oblasti metaloprerade usko su specijalizovane za
izradu proizvoda odredene vrste, pri cemu njihov
proizvodni asortiman uobicajno cini odredeni broj
varijantnih resenja
svega nekoliko proizvoda.
Zahtjev vremena u kojem zivimo za postovanjern
vrlo rigoroznih vremenskih rokova za razvoj novih
proizvoda i pred ove firme namece potrebu za
povecanjern efikasnosti u svim fazama razvoja novih
proizvoda, a sto je moguce ostvariti koriscenjern

Osnovna karakteristika savremenih CAD sistema
koji se nude na trzistu je njihova modularna
struktura, koja ih cini jedinstvenom cjelinom

expectations, an American company, AutoDesk, a

software producer in the field of the graphics, being
known for the programs: AutoCAD, Mechanical
Desktop, 3D Studio..., has developed object models,
thus making YBA an integral part of the latest
generation of its programs. In this way it has been
made possible for these programs to be used as
ActiveX components being the
base for
prgramming into YB and YBA. If all the important
software producers take this way, this being very
possible, we are to expect., in the near future, the
possibility of integration and improving the existing
programs into ActiveX environment.
2. The possibility of increasing design process
efficiency
According to their design solutions, all the products
of metalworking industry may be classified into one
of the following goups [1]:
-re-designed products
-products of design with solid principle at which
the working principle of one of the previous
solutions are retained, but the shape and
dimensions of the parts are partially changed
-products with an adapted design at which the
working principle is "copied" from the product
meant for another function, then adapted to a new
function, thus the parts and assemblies should be
adapted to new conditions
-products with new design whose working
principle and single integarted parts are new ones.
The parts a single product consists of may be
classified into one of the following groups:
-general machine elements including machine
parts of standardized shapes and dimensions
(bolts, bearings, pistons...)
-machine parts of repeated and common shapes
-new machine parts whose new shape is adapted
to the specific characteristics of a new product.
Most of the small, medium sized and even some of
large firms in the field of metalworking are
narrowly specialized for making special products,
thus their production assortment is usually certain
number of variant solutions of only several
products. The imperative of the time we are living is
to respect very rigorous deadlines for developing
new products, also wants these firms to increase the
efficiency in all the development phases of new
products, this being possible to be realized by using
CAD system.
The basic characteristics of modern CAD system
being offered at the market is their modular
structure making them a unique whole composed of
a greater number of independent moduli being able
to interchange data mutually. Thus, a prospective

sastavljenom od veceg broja nezavisnih modula koji

medusobno mogu razmenjivati podatke. Stoga
buduci korisnik nekog CAD sistema moze izvrsiti
izbor sarno onih modula koji su mu neophodni u
svakodnevnom radu. Osim modularnost bitna
karakteristika ovih CAD sistema je i njihova
podjednaka usmjerenosti ka svim potencijalnim
korisnicima. Upravo ova karakteristika ih cini
manje efikasnim , nego sto bi to mogli biti, za
korisnike koji rade u firmama usko specijalizovanim
za izradu proizvoda odrederie vrste.
Prema nekim analizama u svjetskim razmjerama od
svih lansiranih konstrukcionih resenja svega 25%
cini nova resenja. Ako se ima u vidu da se i u novim
konstrukcionim resenjima koristi veliki broj vee
razvijenih djelova, onda postaje jasno da je broj
novih djelova relativno mali.
Dakle CAD sistemi koji bi u sebi obuhvatali sve
osobine postojecih CAD sistema, a istovremeno
ornogucavali i automatizaciju citavog niza operacija
poput: proracuna, modeliranja, pregleda rezultata
dobijenih analizama, izrade tehnicke dokumentacije
za opste masinske elemente i rnasinske djelove
ponovljivih i uobicajenih oblika, bili bi ocigledno
vrlo efikasan put za skracenje vremena potrebnog
za razvoj novog proizvoda. Mogucnost takve
nadgradnje pojedinih modula postojecih CAD
sistema je u koriscenju pogodnosti koje pruza VB
kroz njihovu integraciju u ActiveX okruzenje, koje
Cine programi sa razvijenim objektnim modelom.
Na taj nacin se moze vrsiti nadgradnja postojecih
CAD
sistema
integracijom
njihovih
sa
mogucnostima drugih programa i automatizacijom
operacija koje se mogu vrsiti svakim od njih
pojedinacno,

user of a CAD system may make a choice of only

those moduli that are needed in everyday operation.
Apart from modularity, an essential characteristic
of these CAD systems is also their equal direction
toward each single potential user. It is this property
to make them less efficient than they might be for
the users working in the specialized firms for
making special products.
According to some world-wide analysis made, there
have been only 25% of new solutions out of the
launched design solutions. Taking into account that
even in these design solutions a great number of the
previosly developed parts have been used, then it is
clear that the number of new elements is relatively
small
Thus, CAD systems that would include the
properties of the existing CAD systems, enabling, at
the same time, automatization of the whole series of
operations like: computations, modelling, cheking
results obtained by the analysis, technical
documentation elaboration for general machine
elements and machine parts of the repeated and
common shapes would, very probable, be a very
efficient way of shortening the time needed for
developing a new product. The possibility of
developing single moduli of the existing CAD
systems lies in using the privilege offered by VB
through
their
integration
into
ActiveX
environment, consisting of the programs with a
developed object model. In this way, it is possible to
develope and build the existing CAD systems by
integrating theire possibilities with other programs
and by operation automatization that may be done
by each of them separately.

U ovom radu se daje prikaz mogucnosti integracije i

nadgradnje postojecih CAD alata , proizvoda firme
AutoDesk, u ActiveX okruzenju u cilju povecanja
efikasnosti procesa konstruisanja(2,3].

A surway of the integration and development

possibilities of the existing CAD tools, made by
AutoDesk company, into ActiveX environment to
increase design process efficiency has been given in
this paper (2,3].

je tim sto se neki programski paketi za geometrijsko

mogu
programirati da automatski izvrse niz operacija, te
se na taj nacin moze izvrsiti automatizacija
modeliranja i izrade tehnicke dokumentacije
masinskog dijela na osnovu svega nekoliko ulaznih
parametara. Prednosti primjene parametarskog
modeliranja su brojne, a najvaznije su svakako
sledece:
-ornogucava automatizaciju modeliranja cirri se u

pogledu brzine formiranja modela i nacina

-varijacijorn parametara jednostavno se mijenjaju

Dimenzije kotrljajnih lezaja kao i vecine masinskih
dijelova mogu se u potpunosti izraziti preko svega
nekoliko parametera [1], do cijih se velicina dolazi
proracunorn Ciji je algoritam prikazan na slici 1.
Oblik kotrljajnih lezaja u potpunosti je definisan
sledecim parametrima:
-unutrasnji precnik lezaja d
-spoljnji precnik lezaja D
-sirina lezaj a B
-radijus prelaznih zaobljenja prestena lezaja r.
Kotrljajni lezaji spadaju u opste masinske elemente

dependences among single dimensions of machine

parts. In this way, it is made possible for all the
dimensions of a machine parts to be expressed by
only several parametres. Modelling and technical
documentation elaboration of the general machine
elements and parts of the repeated and common
shapes may be parametrized and connected with the
computation procedure. Using this is enabled by the
fact that some programs for geometrical modelling,
like AutoCAD, may be progarmmed to automatize
a series of operations, thus making automatic
modelling and technical documentation elaboration
of a machine parts based on only several input
parametres. The advenatages of applying parametre
modelling are numerous, the most important among
them being:
-to enable modelling automatization by using
computers as for the speed of model forming and
ways of keeping the elaborated form which is
repeated
-keeping forms of a machine parts in the form of
program contributes considerably to decreasing a
needed memory space
-by varying parametres, it is easy to change the
form and dimensions of a machine parts.
Dimensions of roller bearings as well as ones of the
most of machine parts may be expressed by almost
several parametres[l], their values may be determined
by computation, whose algorhytm is shown in Fig. 1.
The roller bearing shape may be fully defined by the
following parametres:
-inner diameter d
-outer diameter D
-width B
-fillet radius of bearing rings r.
The roller bearings belong to the general machine
elements and the data on the bearings dimensions
as well as on their both dynamic and static carrying
capacity, according to which an adoption of bearing
is done, maybe found in the national standard. The
carrying capacity of bearing is the highest force that
a bearing may transmit for an anticipated life time.

are used for searching previosly developed
databases containing the data on roller bearing
from national standard, whereas the ones from

vrste, a vecina savremenih preduzeca i jesu upravo
takva. Moguce resenje ovog problema nalazi se u
automatizaciji pojedinih faza u razvoju novih
proizvoda koja bi bila omogucena nadgradnjom
postojecih CAD alata i integracijom u ActiveX.

The forms of the most machine parts encountered

by a designer in the course of his work are repeated,
but having in mind the time needed to make model
for FEM analysis,survay of the results obtained by
analysis, technical documentation elaboration... of
such parts, there is the question of the efficiency of
its use. This problem has been especially evident in
the firms specialized for developing special
products, most of modem enterprises being like
that. A possible solutions of this problem lies in
automatizing single phases in developing new
products aided by the existing CAD tools and their
integration into ActiveX environment.
