OPTIMIZATION OF PRODUCTION TECHNICAL SYSTEMS BY MEANS OF STRUCTURAL-PARAMETRIC MODELING

The modern life of people is characterized by constant interaction with various technical systems. These are various buildings (residential, industrial and social purposes), means of transport (cars, ships and planes), production equipment, household appliances (television sets, computers, telephones, washing machines, and refrigerators), etc. A significant number of requirements, often contradictory, both individual and general, are made to the above objects. The first take into account the specifics of these products, and the second are universal in nature. Relevant examples are the immobility of structures, good transport controllability, accuracy of equipment, high-quality images of TVs, computers, etc. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, high reliability, long service life, low cost, etc. The operation of technical facilities is based on processes of various natures. But they also have common properties. These include geometric parameters of shape, size, position and time. In other words, everything around us is located in a certain space and happens in time. Such an extensive theoretical foundation was made to confirm the basic generalizing role of geometric models, including dynamic ones, in the modern automated development of many types of industrial products. The material presented above shows that the search of optimal variants, which are compromise for the existing conflicting requirements, of various technical objects is now an urgent problem of social development. One of the progressive directions of computer geometric modeling, developed by the scientific school of the Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute, is structural-parametric shaping. This methodology is quite universal, it is productively applied in the aviation industry, it has been introduced into general mechanical engineering, the oil refining industry, in the manufacture of composite materials, and begins to adapt to the needs of construction. The main purpose of this publication is to expand the scope of this approach through the further development of some of its theoretical provisions.
