CATIA-Based Design and Implementation of Standard Parts Library

Design and implementation of a standard part library for aircraft product are studied in the paper. Key techniques such as geometric modeling of standard part, design of the part's design table, catalog-based standard part hierarchy, and database storage scheme are discussed in detail. In order to integrate with CATIA, CAA API for CATIA V5 is used. The standard part library developed covers common parts in the national standard, the aeronautic standard, the enterprise standard and the army standard. Detailed groups in the library include fastener, airframe components, system components, routing and electrical components, etc.
