The purpose of this report is twofold. The first is to partially fulfill the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering at the Milwaukee School of Engineering. The secondary purpose is to educate the reader in the topic of design automation in the field of Solid Modeling and Computer Aided Engineering. The method used to achieve this purpose is to develop the steps necessary to automate the design of a marine propeller based on its fundamental features. These steps include: 1) The development of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) used to gather the design intent from the propeller design. 2) The modeling of a marine propeller in solid modeling software whose design is robust enough to be modified into numerous various shapes. 3) The development of the interface software to be used to enable the user to control the propeller solid model with the GUI. The methods used to automate this design include the use of three main tools. 1) Microsoft Visual C++ MFC programming tools are used to develop the GUI. 2) Parametric Technologies Corporation's (PTC) solid modeling package Pro/ENGINEER is used to develop the propeller solid model. 3) PTC's Pro/TOOLKIT is used in conjunction with Visual C++ to develop the interface software. Pro/TOOLKIT is a collection of C function calls used to control the Pro/ENGINEER environment. It was concluded that a propeller designer, using the tools and methods described in this report, can successfully automate the design of a marine propeller, cutting time and money out of the engineering process.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .S366 2002 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
