Abstract
Computer-aided fixture design system is one of the elements of computer integrated manufacturing. It allows to implement the life cycle of fixtures from design stage to its manufacturing, using the geometric modeling and engineering analysis, process planning and automation of the manufacturing. With the aim to increase the productivity and quality of the production process, the CAFD system was developed. It consists of several main modules and they directly execute all the operating procedures. One of such module is aimed at organizing of the user’s work with the information system for fixture design process. This model determines the list of the stages and their order, establishes the informational and other relationships between them. All information for fixture design were grouped to 15 categories and include information about the fixture elements, workpiece, production conditions, and other auxiliary information. The interface of the system is made according to the MDI-application technology for ensuring the access to the auxiliary information throughout the operating process. The physical database model is realized by the open source relational database management system MySQL.
