Solution to new word perplexity in immersion bilingual teaching of engineering graphics

Numerous and specialized words are main obstacles in immersion bilingual teaching of engineering graphics. A feasible solution to this problem is given by classifying new words into three categories. The fear of new words among students is overcome and the effect of bilingual teaching is greatly improved .

Research on railway BIM platform framework based on homemade graphics engine

At present,BIM platforms rely on foreign software.Homemade software and industry applications are mostly secondary developments,which present stranglehold problems caused by interruptions to the software supply.To solve the problem,key technical research on the 3D integrated design of railway engineering was stuedied based on homemade graphics engines to propose an innovative railway BIM platform framework.The entire process was completed from the top-level design to the engineering verification of the platform.The co-designed mechanism of a"center model and link"hybrid mode was constructed,which solved the difficulties of data management and increment synchronization at a large scale,achieving teamwork among surveying and mapping,alignments,and bridges.The results of this study could provide strong support for the development of BIM software for a whole railway and all majors.

Teaching Reform and Practice in Engineering Drawing Based on 3D Modeling with Computer

Based on the necessity of three dimensional modeling with computer in teaching reform, this paper is the summarization of reform practice of teaching engineering drawing in our institute. The teaching reform begins with three dimensional modeling that used computer instead of board. On the basis of target of teaching reform, set of teaching content, arrangement of class hour and teaching method, the research of teaching practice have been done, and very good effects in teaching of engineering drawing have been achieved.

Study and Realization of Intelligent Online Drawing Platform Based on Internet

Internet has gradually demonstrated more and more superiority in modern education system. The intelligent online drawing platform based on net will provide learners with a studying environment without limitation in time and space. Based on the theory of graphics, this paper developed an intelligent online drawing platform (IODP) with Java through analyzing the teaching character of descriptive geometry. IODP developed not only has a flexible drawing environment with the function of mutual drawing, but also is able to judge the drawing made by students and give feedback at the same time. This platform gives an effective way for Internet education on engineering graphics.

A Study on Drawing the Shadow of a Curve Revolving Object under Commonly Used Ray

The shadow of a circle casting on a unparallel plane is an ellipse, the shadow algorithm involves a perspective affine transformation. Under commonly used light, the transformation matrix for parallel circles of different diameters casting shadows onto the same plane is identical. Using AutoCAD to get the shadow of a general object of revolution, it only needs to take a series of circles along the axis of symmetry and get their corresponding shadows of ellipses, drawing an envelope to cover all these silhouettes results in the required overall shadow. Then the discrete points of shadow contour line are projected back onto the original object surface, shadow on the object is obtained altogether.

Derivative Geometric Modeling of Basic Rotational Solids on CATIA

Hybrid models derived from rotational solids like cylinders, cones and spheres were implemented on CATIA software. Firstly, make the isosceles triangular prism, cuboid, cylinder, cone, sphere, and the prism with tangent conic and curved triangle ends, the cuboid with tangent cylindrical and curved rectangle ends, the cylinder with tangent spherical and curved circular ends as the basic Boolean deference units to the primary cylinders, cones and spheres on symmetrical and some critical geometric conditions, forming a series of variant solid models. Secondly, make the deference units above as the basic union units to the main cylinders, cones, and spheres accordingly, forming another set of solid models. Thirdly, make the tangent ends of union units into oblique conic, cylindrical, or with revolved triangular pyramid, quarterly cylinder and annulus ends on sketch based features to the main cylinders, cones, and spheres repeatedly, thus forming still another set of solid models. It is expected that these derivative models be beneficial both in the structure design, hybrid modeling, and finite element analysis of engineering components and in comprehensive training of spatial configuration of engineering graphics.

Analyses and Solutions of Specific Cases in Spatial Angles Calculation

Aiming at the specific cases existing in spatial angles calculation the paper investigates five types of them： lines in specific orientations, planes in specific orientations, two lines defining a plane and angles between them, orientations and relevant parameters of a line lying on a plane, and orientations and relevant parameters of a plane passing through a line. The results are presented. The strategy presented provides a firm theoretic basis for the application of the new method of spatial angles calculations.

Application of Drawing CAI in Teaching

This article introduces the system and application of teaching software Of 《Key to theExercises of Mechanical Drawing》 (will soon be published by the High Education publishingHouse). In general, CAI software is intended to be used for watching and listening, but can't beoperated personally. In order to improve the teaching effect, we introduce interactive capabilities intothe software, give students the opportunities of doing hands-on practice, increase the informationcontent of teaching in unit time, and leave more thinking face for students.

A GIS-Based 3D Simulation for Occupant Evacuation in a Building

The evacuation efficiency of building plans is of obvious importance to the public safety. The complexity of building plans, however, makes it difficult for the efficiency evaluation. This paper presents a computational model AutoEscape, which can simulate the evacuation process for any given occupant distribution in buildings. Designed as an extensible multi-level structure, the model constructs the geometry level and occupant level and establishes the interactions between levels. The GIS-based environmental analysis is realized to automatically generate the geometric representation and formulate the cognition of agents. The multi-agent based technology is employed to simulate the crowd behaviors with autonomously acting individuals. A visualization component, which provides 3D free observations for the simulation process, is developed on the platform of OGRE and integrated into the system interface in form of ActiveX control. Finally, a case study has been conducted and the results have been compared with the results of an existing model to show the reliability and capacity of AutoEscape simulation.
