In the field of engineering CAD, it is a new attempt to apply multimedia to improve the application level and extend the functions of CAD system. Nowadays mechanical designers have not only the need of powerful 2D and 3D graphics processing ability but also the need of integrated management of graphics and nongraphics data. Some researchers have made great efforts to develop engineering database management systems (EDBMS) to attain this goal. EDBMS and EDB will become the kernel of some CAD application systems. It is a new aspect to apply multimedia technology in EDBMS, which will greatly enhance the functions of EDBMS. Our research group has been working on the project of EDBMS of the engine CAD application system (ECAD-EDBMS), ECAD system demands multimedia of EDBMS. Some problems have been progressively solved in our developing environment. This paper discusses this kind of requirements and solutions. 1 REQUIREMENTS FOR MULTIMEDIA TO ECAD-EDBMS (ENGINE CAD-EDBMS) The ECAD application system includes about 20 subsystems, for example general design of engine (GD), piston group design (PD), cylinder design (CD), crankshaft design (CRD) and oil supply system (OSD) and so on. ECAD will work in an Ethernet network connecting some workstation and microcomputers. ECAD-EDBMS is the kernel of the whole ECAD application system. EDBMS and EDB managed by EDBMS are the centre to exchange information between these CAD subsystems mentioned above. EDBMS should meet the requirement for integrated management of graphics and engineering data, and have the ability to extract and transfer geometry parameters from graphics data to EDB. EDB of ECAD system can be divided into two kinds of database, global databases (GDB) and local databases (LDB). For example, the performance parameters, geometry size and economy targets of
