FEATURE SOLID MODELING TOOL SYSTEM:FSMTS

In conformity with the principle of Design for Manufacture,feature-based design strate- (?)es have been developed.As the“feature”is relevant to the“macro process plan”and“macro NC programs”,obviously,“feature”is beyond the power of conventional solid modellers.Neverthe- less,substantial breakthrough has not been made in the solid modeling field,except“feature at- taching”or“feature recognizing”methods have been taken on.In this paper,the theory, concepts,system architecture,and algorithm principles of solid modeling tool system have been represented.The practice of Feature Solid Modeling Tool System (FSMTS) developed at Huazhong University has proved that the tool may be a new foundation of Feature-Based Design.

Constraint-Based Virtual Solid Modeling

Constraint-based solid modeling is the kernel part of current CADsystems. It has been widely used in supporting detailed design and variational design. However, it cannot support early stage design and is not easy-to--use becauseit demands fully detailed input description of a design. To solve these problems,researchers attempt to incorporate virtual reality techniques into geometric modeling systems. This paper presents a novel approach for interactive constraint-basedsolid modeling in a virtual reality environment. The approach allows the designerto construct and edit a constraint-based solid model by direct 3D manipulations,and ensures the created solid model to be precise by recognizing and solving geometric constraints. To effectively support 3D manipulations and change propagation,a new constraint-based solid model is adopted. In the model, besides the normalconstituents of the typical constraint-based solid model, some new attributes likeshape control points, location pattern and explicit shape constraints of a primitiveare defined. Guided by the location pattern, our algorithms for recognizing andsolving location constraints are real-time.

Radial Supershapes for Solid Modeling

In the previous work, an efficient method has been proposed to represent solid objects as multiple combinations of globally deformed supershapes. In this paper, this framework is applied with a new supershape implicit function that is based on the notion of radial distance and results are presented on realistic models composed of hundreds of hierarchically globally deformed supershapes. An implicit equation with guaranteed differential properties is obtained by simple combinations of the primitives~ implicit representations using R-function theory. The surface corresponding to the zero-set of the implicit equation is efficiently and directly polygonized using the primitives,parametric forms. Moreover, hierarchical global deformations are considered to increase the range of shapes that can be modeled. The potential of the approach is illustrated by representing complex models composed of several hundreds of primitives inspired from CAD models of mechanical parts.

A Sufficient Condition for a Wire-Frame Representing a Solid Modeling Uniquely

Generally speaking, it is impossible for a wire-frame to define a 3D object uniquely. But wire-frame as a graphics medium is still applied in some industrial areas. A sufficient condition is presented in this paper. If this condition is satisfied by a wire-frame, then the wire-frame can represent a 3D object uniquely The result is applied to manufacturing of progressive stripe.

Conversion between solid and beam element solutions of finite element method based on meta-modeling theory:development and application to a ramp tunnel structure

In this study, a new method for conversion of solid finite element solution to beam finite element solution is developed based on the meta-modeling theory which constructs a model consistent with continuum mechanics. The proposed method is rigorous and efficient compared to a typical conversion method which merely computes surface integration of solid element nodal stresses to obtain cross-sectional forces. The meta-modeling theory ensures the rigorousness of proposed method by defining a proper distance between beam element and solid element solutions in a function space of continuum mechanics. Results of numerical verification test that is conducted with a simple cantilever beam are used to find the proper distance function for this conversion. Time history analysis of the main tunnel structure of a real ramp tunnel is considered as a numerical example for the proposed conversion method. It is shown that cross-sectional forces are readily computed for solid element solution of the main tunnel structure when it is converted to a beam element solution using the proposed method. Further, envelopes of resultant forces which are of primary importance for the purpose of design, are developed for a given ground motion at the end.

EXPLOITING THE POTENTIALS OF WIREFRAME MODELING

Solid modeling with precise NURBS boundaries compliant with STEP standard represents the most promising way of designing complicated mechanical products in a CIM environment. In paral- lel to the traditional approach of putting together volumetric primitives with Boolean operations, an al- ternative way of applying the wireframe and skinning techniques is under development. The latter ap- proach is easy to implement, robust and capable of handling the most sophisticated models, while suf- fers the drawbacks of low efficiency in identifying interactively the boundaries of each surface patch when the line segments are interlaced and located close to each other. This paper describes the essentials of the wireframe and skinning techniques which produce the identical product information model as a solid modeler.

AN ALGORITHM ACHIEVING VALID BOOLEAN OPERATION RESULTS ON POLYHEDRAL SOLIDS

A polyhedral solid modeler that operates on boundary representations (B-reps) of ob- jects must derive topological information from numerical data.Due to finite precision of the com- puter,unavoidable numerical calculation errors may result in ambiguous or contradictory decision of topology.These effects cause existing polyhedral modelers to fail when confronted with objects that nearly align or barely intersect. Based on analysing the reasons which cause the failure of Boolean operation to fail,this paper describes an algorithm using solid integrity to carefully design each step of Boolean operation,so that valid polyhedral modeling results may be achieved.

DEFICIENT INFORMATION MODELING OF MECHANICAL PRODUCTS FOR CONCEPTUAL SHAPE DESIGN

In allusion to the deficient feature of product information in conceptualdesign, a framework of deficient information modeling for conceptual shape design is put forward,which includes qualitative shape modeling (a qualitative solid model), uncertain shape modeling (anuncertain relation model) and imprecise shape modeling (an imprecise region model). In theframework, the qualitative solid model is the core, which represents qualitatively (using symbols)the conceptual shapes of mechanical products. The uncertain relation model regarding domainrelations as objects and the imprecise region model regarding domains as objects are used to dealwith the uncertain and imprecise issues respectively, which arise from qualitative shape modeling orexist in product information itself.

A new high-precision gravity solid tidal model for Precision Gravity Measurement Facility

It is significant for establishing gravity datum to construct precise gravity solid tidal model,A simple method with relatively low performance is to interpolate tidal parameters from the global gravity solid tide models.A competitive approach is to determine local gravity solid tidal model by harmonic analysis using long-time serial gravity observations.In this paper a new high-precision gravity solid tidal model for Precision Gravity Measurement Facility is estimated from two co-site gravimeters in the cave laboratory using modern international standard data processing techniques,whose accuracy is evaluated further by comparing with previous publications.The results show that:(1)the determined gravity solid tidal models from two co-site gravimeters are in good agreement with each other,of which the maximum differences for amplitude factors and phase delays don’t exceed 0.01700%and 2.50990°,respectively.(2)the performance of the obtained gravity solid tidal model is 0.00411 for amplitude factors and 0.24120°for phase delays,which is a little better than that of previous publications using superconducting gravity data from Wuhan station.(3)our results and methods are corrective and effective.(4)our model is tiny different from that provided by Wuhan station,which implies that it is necessary to construct a gravity solid tidal model for Precision Gravity Measurement Facility,rather than just adopting existing models at Wuhan station.Our results are helpful in realizing the goal of Precision Gravity Measurement Facility.

Asymptotic analysis on weakly forced vibration of axially moving viscoelastic beam constituted by standard linear solid model

The weakly forced vibration of an axially moving viscoelastic beam is inves- tigated. The viscoelastic material of the beam is constituted by the standard linear solid model with the material time derivative involved. The nonlinear equations governing the transverse vibration are derived from the dynamical, constitutive, and geometrical relations. The method of multiple scales is used to determine the steady-state response. The modulation equation is derived from the solvability condition of eliminating secular terms. Closed-form expressions of the amplitude and existence condition of nontrivial steady-state response are derived from the modulation equation. The stability of non- trivial steady-state response is examined via the Routh-Hurwitz criterion.

Solid model edit distance: a multi-application and multi-level schema for CAD model retrieval

We present the solid model edit distance(SMED),a powerful and flexible paradigm for exploiting shape similarities amongst CAD models.It is designed to measure the magnitude of distortions between two CAD models in boundary representation(B-rep).We give the formal definition by analogy with graph edit distance,one of the most popular graph matching methods.To avoid the expensive computational cost potentially caused by exact computation,an approximate procedure based on the alignment of local structure sets is provided in addition.In order to verify the flexibility,we make intensive investigations on three typical applications in manufacturing industry,and describe how our method can be adapted to meet the various requirements.Furthermore,a multilevel method is proposed to make further improvements of the presented algorithm on both effectiveness and efficiency,in which the models are hierarchically segmented into the configurations of features.Experiment results show that SMED serves as a reasonable measurement of shape similarity for CAD models,and the proposed approach provides remarkable performance on a real-world CAD model database.

The method representS ablock of voxels as a B-rep solid model and conStrUcts the B-rep geometric clementS with an approach frombottom to up. Once the B-rep model is established, it is efficient in displaying because inner voxels areomitted and many coplanar facetS are merged together. By displaying the interSeCtion lines of theconstructed B-reP model and the partitioning planes, the tessellation image can be generated.
