Fixture Design Automation and Optimization Techniques: Review and Future Trends

Fixture design is crucial part of manufacturing process. Fixture design is a critical design activity process, in which automation plays an integral role in linking computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD). This paper presents a literature review in computer aided fixture design (CAFD) in terms of automation and optimization techniques over the past decades. First, the...

Optimal Automation Level in Microgrids

In this paper a new methodology for determining the optimal level of automation in microgrids is proposed. In traditional distribution networks, automation is referred to the management of the fault in a more efficiently manner especially in medium voltage (MV) distribution network in order to improve the network reliability indices by reduction of average outage duration per consumer and meanw...

Analog Blocks Design Automation

The purpose of this paper is to present an automated design methodology for analog blocks. This method focuses on analog blocks design parameters automatic generation according to specific design constraints. This method is based on analog circuits’ mathematical models. These models are generated thanks to a “Design Of Experiment” (DOE) technique. The DOE technique takes as input electrical sim...
