7。 Module FSTNR for selection of fasteners (bolts & dowels)。
The execution of the system PROCOMP is shown in Figure 1。 The modules are designed to take required input data automatically from already built output data files namely COMP。DAT, SWLSEL。DAT and OPRSEQ。DAT。 The system
invites the user to enter part data information such as production quantity, tolerance, sheet thickness, sheet material, shear strength of sheet etc。 through prompt area of AutoCAD。 The system automatically stores these part data in a part data file labeled as

COMP。DAT。 The data files SWLSEL。DAT and OPRSEQ。DAT are generated automatically during the execution of KBS of strip- layout of metal stamping work on progressive die developed by the authors and described in ref。 [15]。 The file SWLSEL。DAT stores the optimal size of sheet metal strip and the file OPRSEQ。DAT comprises of proper sequence of required sheet metal operations。 As shown in Figure 1 all the modules of system are designed to store their outputs in form of dimensions of die components in various output data files named as DBLOCK。DAT, DG。DAT, DIALCL。DAT, STRPR。DAT, PPDIM。DAT, BPDIM。DAT, DSDIM。DAT, DSSEL。DAT and
FSTNR。DAT。 These data files can be further utilized for automating the modeling of progressive die components and die assembly。
During consultation, the proposed system generates friendly prompts eliciting from the user for job related data。 The system output includes expert advices on the type and dimensions of progressive die components for automating the die design process。 The system has been tested for wide variety of sheet metal parts。 A sample of typical prompts, user responses and expert advices rendered by the system for one industrial component (Figure 2) is given in Table 1。 The recommendations of the system modules were found to be reasonable and very similar to those actually used in industries, namely M/S Anurina Tristar Pvt。 Ltd。, New Delhi, India for example component。 The system has been implemented on a PC having AutoCAD software。
