I place

Title: Main Motion Gear-Box

Author: Gladkiy Aleksandr

Educational Institution: branch "Sevmashtuz" GOUVPO of Saint-Petersburg State Navy Technical University, Severodvinsk

T-FLEX products used in design: T-FLEX CAD, T-FLEX Dynamics

Project description: The work was carried out within the framework of a term project for the course "Metal-Cutting Machines". A parametric model of the gear-box for the main motion of the vertical milling machine is presented at competition. The model allows the user to specify main parameters of the gear-box and automatically obtain a kinematic scheme, structural net and the plot of rotation frequencies, the plot of power and torque, assembly drawing of the gear-box, 3D assembly and the bill of materials. In addition, it is possible to automatically calculate the service life of used bearings, the loft of the gear box. The project enables the user to determine approximately the stiffness of the front and rear supports of the gear box, and elastic displacement of the spindle at end point.

Title: Generator of Toyota Carina Automobile

Author: Nesterov Viktor

Supervisor: Leonova Galina Dmitrievna

Educational Institution: branch of the Altai State Technical University named after Polzunov I.I. - Biysk Technological University

T-FLEX products used in design: T-FLEX CAD 3D

Project description: In the framework of the project a detailed development of the automobile generator's structure was performed, 3D parametric models of parts and the component assemblage were created. Moreover, the technical documentation package was developed: assembly drawing, bill of materials, draft drawings of parts (selectively). Dimensions were measured directly using the parts of the disassembled generator. The standard elements of the Russian industry do not fit exactly Japanese parts - bearings, nuts, bolts, and studs. As a consequence, it was necessary to change several dimensions in the internal database of the given bearings and bolts. Animation of the generator with the help of built-in capabilities of T-FLEX CAD with a recording of the corresponding video-file was performed. The 3D assembly consists of 183 bodies, and several of the bodies have quite complicated geometry.

Title: Universal Turner

Author: Olejnik Sergej

Educational Institution: Kharkov Mechanical College named after Morozov A.A.

T-FLEX products used in design: T-FLEX CAD 3D

Project description: The fragment "Master of graphics annotation" allows the T-FLEX CAD user to quickly and easily annotate the graph constructed in Cartesian coordinate system. By using the "Master of graphics annotation", it is possible to significantly speed up the process of annotating the graphs. The user can just place the fragment on the drawing field, modify required parameters of the fragment and graph annotation will be completed at that. The fragment has a capability to independently put the axis tick labels (intermediate values of a certain variable), operate with various number formats (standard, exponential, proper and improper fractions). The fact that graph annotation is implemented in the form of a fragment allows the user to work with the graph without changing its annotation (using filters) and, also, work with graphs having hidden its annotation with a single command.
