Development of 3-dimensional CAD management system software for EPS

Electronic Power Steering (EPS) has become the direction of the development of modern steering system for its excellent functions. The manufacturers and the researchers need pay attention not only to the improvement and innovation of the technology of the products but also to the control and management on course of designing, producing, dynamic capability research etc. So it's necessary to develop one kind of 3-dimensional Computer Aided Design (CAD) management system for electronic power steering. Using the mind of Concurrent Engineering and Modularization facing to the users, different functions of the system are contacted by the database of management information under this platform. Which make the exchange of different information turn to reality, fasting the speed of products developing. Visual FoxPro, which used Object-Oriented technology and the 3D CAD software, and Solid Works were used to design this system. A good interface and database were set up at the same time.
