Computer-aided Design for the Route of the Test Waveguides

Abstract

With the rapid development of China's space industry, digitization and intelligent is the tendency of the future. The applications of the waveguide are gradually widespread. During the thermal test phase, the routes of the test waveguides are similar for each spacecraft. Although the waveguides are highly standardized, so far it needs engineers to design the particular route of the test waveguidess, then map the engineering drawing for every test. In order to efficiently design the route of waveguide, it needs to design an application to help the engineers. With the help of the MFC(Microsoft Foundation Classes) and the pro/toolkit, it is easily to do the modeling and simulation. After automatic design the particular the route of the waveguide, the API of AutoCAD type library is used to help to modify the engineer drawing. Engineers can supervise every step of this application, and easily to modify the key parameters.
