A BREP Model and Mesh Errors Detecting Tool: TopoVisu
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper aims to describe the methodology behind the computer aided design tool TopoVisu. The objective of this tool is to support analysts and designers in their work, mainly by helping detect errors in models and meshes. But the error detection is not the only feature of TopoVisu, it also provides a visualization environment to cope with data portability issues. The paper briefly describes the type of problems that may be detected through the tests implemented in TopoVisu, and the PDF 3D exporting tool implemented as a mean of documentation and communication of the models and their validation.

Mesh Generation from Boundary Models with Parametric Face Representation
The triangulation of boundary representation geomet-ries (BRep geometries) is neccessary for display generation , stereo-lithography applications and also nite element mesh (FE mesh) generation. The accuracy of the tesselation is of great signiic-ance not only for stereo-lithography and rendering algorithms but also for FE mesh generation, since even minor simpliications of the geometry of the ...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Bounding Object Based Algorithm for Efficient and Precise Collision Detection of Csg-represented Virtual Objects
Collision detection is the foundation of interaction in virtual reality. In Virtual design workspace, virtual assembly workspace, and virtual training, for example, the motion of virtual objects must be constrained by collisions with other objects to provide the sense of reality. Important human-object interactions such as grasping, hitting, moving, etc., in virtual reality (VR) environments ar...
متن کاملExtraction of Boundary Representation from Surface Triangulations∗
Many computational science tools employ finite element meshes as discretizations of the geometrical domains, and automatic mesh generation has become an indispensable part of the discretization process. Boundary representations (BRep) of solids are the means of describing the geometrical model to the mesher, thus enabling the generator to proceed without user intervention. Significant effort ha...
متن کاملUnstructured Tetrahedral Mesh Generation Technology
The whole process of mesh generation is presented in detail. Advancing front technique (AFT) is proposed for 3D tetrahedral mesh generation [1]. AFT starts from initial front. Initial front is a boundary surface conformal triangulation. On each step a new tetrahedron is constructed and the front is updated. At this point local mesh size could be selected automatically in order to create quasi-u...
متن کاملAn Object Oriented Design for Mesh Generation And Operation Algortihms
An object oriented data structure is presented for the purposes of finite element mesh generation. It is unique in the sense that it maintains containers of entities through an event m anager called reactable entities. This data structu re provides tight coupling with the geometric model (BRep) and user inputs to the mesh generation algorithms. It also provides a definition of a procedural clas...
