FLEXIBLE MODULE DIVISION METHOD

The existing representative of the modular division methods are analyzed,and the four indicators of the principle of division are put forward.By comparison summary,the princi-ples of modules division under the three-dimensional are brought out.Then,the existing methods for modules division are classified and analyzed.Moreover,the superiority and shortcoming of the existing methods are summarized and com-pared.Based on the analysis,a flexible modular division method has been concluded.Particularly emphasis the combi-nation of engineering practice in the method——"The modular transformation of the existing product family".The content and steps of the method are explained in the form of flow chart.Furthermore,gives a clear delineation of the specific module mathematical method.Finally,combining the engineering prac-tice of the typical crane parts——"beam",the flexible method are verified.
