APPLICATION OF AUTOMATED DESIGN SYSTEMS IN AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

Abstract

Summary. The article discusses the use of computer-aided design systems in industrial engineering, as well as how exactly CAD/CAM/CAE systems are transforming agricultural engineering, providing engineers and manufacturers with the tools to create more modern, productive, and competitive equipment. The role of these systems in improving the manufacturability, design, production and testing of agricultural machines, as well as their impact on the quality and productivity in the agricultural sector is considered using the example of a methodology for studying the movement of grain material in the rotary chamber of a chopper and its contact interaction with the working bodies of a rotary chopper, which directly effects on the grinding process, its quality and energy consumption.

CAD systems allow engineers to create detailed 3D models of agricultural machinery. This helps to optimize the shapes and sizes of the devices to achieve maximum productivity and reduce the material consumption of the structure and energy consumption.
CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) systems allow analysis of strength, dynamic and thermal characteristics of rotary shredders. This is important to ensure the durability and reliability of the equipment under high load conditions.
CAD/CAM/CAE systems allow virtual testing of various configurations of agricultural machinery before physical production of prototypes. This helps to save time and money for expensive physical experiments.
Studying the mechanical properties of grain only using CAD/CAE systems does not allow obtaining a complete and reliable assessment of its strength indicators depending on the variety, shape, humidity, and the nature of the application of loads, but the obtained results should be used both to confirm previous and for further theoretical studies.
