摘要
This paper describes AutoFix, a fully automated CAD package for configuring complex fixtures from a database of molecular elements. The program is also capable of designing special elements if standard ones do not exist in the database. A feature of AutoFix is the use of Finite Element Analysis to compute the deflection of the fixtured workpiece and determine the optimum position of supports. Examples of fixtures designed by AutoFix are presented. © 1990.
