Exploration of Revolved Parts Modeling based on MBD and Pro ENGINEER

A great change in mechanical industry has occurred after several successful practices using MBD (Model Based Definition) of The Boeing Company. It is an inevitable trend from two-dimensional product definition to three-dimensional product definition in mechanical industry. In China, two-dimensional design is widely used, and many enterprises have started to use three-dimensional design. Several standards for MBD have emerged around the world. This paper takes the planet shelf in planet driver system as an example, explores the revolved parts modeling methods based on MBD and Pro ENGINEER, and then makes a conclusion. Following these methods we can build a model which conforms to MBD standards correctly and efficiently.
