OVERVIEW AND USE OF CAD FOR THE DESIGN OF AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS

Abstract

Today, the use of computers is becoming an increasingly integral part of our lives. In whatever field a person works, he will definitely have to face computers or minimal electronic control. Agriculture is directly included in the circle of industries that actively use three-dimensional modeling. Among all the directions of the development of electronics and programming, it is impossible not to note the rapid development of three-dimensional modeling. Already, 3D technologies allow not only to see how a particular object will look like, but also to calculate its dynamic characteristics and even depict its work. This paper presents an overview of the currently existing automatic design systems. The varieties and classification of these CAD systems were studied. Based on the results of the analysis of existing CAD systems, an automatic design system suitable for us was selected for the most convenient and quick design of the soil-processing rink developed by us. The selected Compass 3D system fully meets all the tasks and requirements of our technical equipment. The creation of a three-dimensional model of the tillage roller allowed us to visually better understand its unique design features and create all the required drawings and specifications in the shortest possible time for the further production of an experimental sample. In the modern world, CAD systems are represented by a wide variety of software products suitable for any tasks and requirements. Thanks to the Compass 3D program, the design process of the new soil-processing roller was successful, allowing it to meet all technical requirements, with the least amount of time spent. At the same time, designing a tillage roller in Compass 3D and loading this model into FlowVision and SOLIDWORKS programs allowed us to determine its main design parameters, such as the diameter of the roller, the width of the grip, etc.
