Solution details
This project belongs to the field of aerospace research. 1. Project background 2013 is a critical year for the implementation of ldquo; National 12th Five-Year Plan rdquo; and ldquo; Shanghai City's 12th Five-Year Plan rdquo;Cultural and Creative Industries rdquo; and it is also a new year for ldquo; innovation-driven, transformative developmentrdquo;. As the world's largest consumer market, China's economy still maintains high growth, and the attention of the global aircraft interior industry is focused on China. Relying on advanced technology and high-quality interior design, it can drive the cultural benefits and economic growth value of new aircraft and improve product market competitiveness and added value. Industrial design, especially the industrial design of advanced equipment manufacturing, more reflects the perfect combination of scientific and meticulous thinking of creative design. The industrial design of aircraft interiors is innovative, and creative top-level design must become the leader of design. and pioneer. With the financial support of the Cultural Innovation Project of the Municipal Economic and Information Technology Commission, this project completed the preliminary construction of the civil aircraft interior industrial design system platform in 2016 and was applied to the design of civil aircraft models. 2. Main content: The design project involves the spatial design of the cockpit, front and rear service areas, main cabin and other areas, as well as living facilities and equipment. The main contents of the project target are: a) space allocation and industrial design development and application;b) space visual comfort research and development;c) equipment space design;d) advanced materials research and development. During the project construction process, implementation methods such as visual design, cabin integration, virtual simulation and physical prototype evaluation were added, and software and hardware facilities such as material libraries, product libraries, industrial design workshops, and design evaluation methods were created, which effectively accelerated the construction of the C919 model project interior design also laid the design foundation and hardware guarantee for subsequent project optimization and industrial design plans for wide-body aircraft. At the same time, this project has established scientific research capabilities in the field of industrial design with international standards, providing effective support for the model design team. This project completes the construction of an industrial design workshop, changing the traditional design methods such as physical prototypes, renderings, outsourcing manufacturing, and problem text descriptions, and replacing the design based on design evaluation methods, virtual simulation, 3D printing evaluation, and cabin roaming and interaction. Many other innovative technologies. 3. Innovation points: 1) The work system platform mainly supports the industrial design and detailed design of the cabin of the C919 aircraft, as well as the overall interior optimization and wide-body aircraft interior design after the delivery of ARJ21. It is the first civil aircraft interior built for design and development in China. Industrial design work system platform. 2) For the first time, an integrated and comprehensive method based on research, evaluation and verification has been proposed, which has initially realized scientific research capabilities in the field of industrial design at an international level, and vigorously promoted the allocation of the overall interior space of civil aircraft and industrial design applications. 3) For the first time, a complete design evaluation process has been established; for the first time, 3D printing technology has been used to support design evaluation and R & D tests; for the first time, a complete immersive design simulation method has been established. 4) For the first time, parametric cabin rapid prototyping and layout design has been established, with a data interface with CATIA, and 100% visualization of delivery airlines 'customized choices. 4. Application promotion status: At present, this system platform has been implemented in the interior design evaluation and optimization of the C919 large passenger aircraft project, and has been gradually promoted and applied in the conceptual design and development process of wide-body aircraft industrial design, completing the conceptual design of the C919 large passenger aircraft project. Through large-screen simulation situational animation, the design effect is displayed, user testing is carried out, design flaws are discovered, and the design is improved.
