Abstract
The manufacturing support system transmits component data to a supplier. The component data is used for manufacturing an article including a plurality of components to be joined by welding and represents a geometric shape of each of the components. The manufacturing support system comprises a data generation unit that generates the component data so as to include, as a part of the geometric shape, a specifying object specifying a welding area in the article, and a transmission unit that transmits the generated component data to the supplier.
Claims6
A manufacturing support system that transmits, to a supplier, component data for manufacturing an article including a plurality of components to be joined by welding, the component data representing a geometric shape of each of the components, the manufacturing support system comprising:
- a data generation unit that generates the component data based on model data of the article so as to include, as a part of the geometric shape, a specifying object specifying a welding area in the article;
- and
- a transmission unit that transmits the generated component data to the supplier, wherein
- the specifying object is not included in the model data, and the specifying object, as a part of the geometric shape represented by the component data, has a set dimension.
(canceled)
A manufacturing support program for a manufacturing support system that includes a computer and transmits, to a supplier, component data for manufacturing an article including a plurality of components to be joined by welding, the component data representing a geometric shape of each of the components, the manufacturing support program causing the computer to function as:
- a data generation unit that generates the component data based on model data of the article so as to include, as a part of the geometric shape, a specifying object specifying a welding area in the article;
- and
- a transmission unit that transmits the generated component data to the supplier, wherein
- the specifying object is not included in the model data, and the specifying object, as a part of the geometric shape represented by the component data, has a set dimension.
A control method for a manufacturing support system that includes a computer and transmits, to a supplier, component data for manufacturing an article including a plurality of components to be joined by welding, the component data representing a geometric shape of each of the components, the control method causing the computer to:
- generate the component data based on model data of the article so as to include, as a part of the geometric shape, a specifying object specifying a welding area in the article;
- and
- transmit the generated component data to the supplier, wherein
- the specifying object is not included in the model data, and the specifying object, as a part of the geometric shape represented by the component data, has a set dimension.
A terminal device comprising:
- an acquisition unit that acquires component data for manufacturing an article including a plurality of components to be joined by welding, the component data generated based on model data of the article and representing a geometric shape of each of the components;
- and
- a drawing generation unit that generates drawing data of the components based on the acquired component data, wherein
- the component data includes, as part of the geometric shape, a specifying object specifying a welding area in the article, and
- the specifying object is not included in the model data, and the specifying object, as a part of the geometric shape represented by the component data, has a set dimension.
