3.9 CASE STUDY - THE BEAMCAD PROGRAM
3.9.1 Objectives:
• The program is expected to aid the design of beams by taking basic information about beam geometry and material, and then providing immediate feedback. The beam will be simply supported, and be under a single point load. The program should also provide a printed report on the beam.
3.9.2 Problem Definition:
•The basic theory for beam design is available in any good mechanical design textbook. In this example it will not be given.
•The inputs were determined to be few in number: BeamType, Beam Material, Beam Thickness, Beam Width, Beam Height, Beam Length, Load Position, Load Force.
•The possible outputs are Cross Section Area, Weight, Axial Stiffness, Bending Stiffness, and Beam Deflection, a visual display of Beam Geometry, a display of Beam Deflection.
3.9.3 User Interface:
3.9.3.1 - Screen Layout (also see figure):
• The small number of inputs and outputs could all be displayed, and updated, on a single
screen.
page 60
•The left side of the screen was for inputs, the right side for outputs.
•The screen is divided into regions for input(2), input display and prompts(1), Beam Cross section(3), Numerical Results(4), and Beam Deflection(5).
3.9.3.2 - Input:
•Current Inputs were indicated by placing a box around the item on the display(1).
•In a separate Prompt Box(2), this input could be made.
•The cursor keys could be used to cursor the input selector up or down.
•Single keystroke operation.
•Keys required: UP/DOWN Cursors, F1, F2, F4, numbers from ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘.’, ‘-’, and <RETURN>. In the spirit of robustness it was decided to screen all other keys.
3.9.3.3 - Output:
• Equations, calculations, material types, and other relevant information were obtained from a
text.
•Proper textual descriptions were used to ensure clarity for the user.
•For a printed report, screen information would be printed to a printer, with the prompt area replaced with the date and time.
3.9.3.4 - Help:
• A special set of help information was needed. It was decided to ensure that the screen
always displays all information necessary(2).
page 61
3.9.3.5 - Error Checking:
•Reject any input which violates the input limits.
•A default design was given, which the user could modify.
•An error checking program was created, which gives error messages.
3.9.3.6 - Miscellaneous:
•The screen was expressed in normalized coordinates by most sub-routines.
•Colors were used to draw attention, and highlight areas.
