Design and Analysis of an Automatic Seed Sowing Machine Using SolidWorks and ANSYS Tools

To meet future food demands, it is essential to provide new technologies to the farmers. There are several processes, viz. excavation, planting, irrigation, etc. for which the farmers are still worried. Mechanization reduces the cost of labor and improves overall productivity without any effect on the quality of the soil. Hence, it is necessary to provide them with some useful economic solutions for these problems. In the present work, the problem of seed sowing has been addressed. The conventional method of seed sowing is not efficient and is time-consuming. In the present work, a multifunctional seed sowing machine has been designed, which can sow the seed and can discharge the fertilizer simultaneously. The design of the machine has been done using SolidWorks, and the analysis has been done with the help ANSYS workbench 15.0. From the result, it has been found that the seed sowing machine is safe under self-weight and in other loads.
