Design automation of set screw connection

Abstract

This paper will be given the dimensioning and check calculation of set screw connections with the design automation process. The introductory part of the paper shows the papers which deal with set screw connection problems. A critical overview of this field is given, along with the possibilities of design automation. A practice example of design was chosen for this investigation. Before the design model is made, the design is translated to mathematics parameters for dimensions and check calculations of set screw connection. Special attention is paid to the user communication interface to minimize errors that can happen due to human mistakes and make the automation process successful. The paper concludes with the integration of set screw connection into CAD software with testing of practice usage. Also, further research directions are pointed out.
