Representation and CAD Modeling of Heterogeneous Objects
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a modeling scheme for objects containing multiple materials or functionally graded materials (FGM), i.e. heterogeneous objects. The material composition variations under this modeling scheme are controlled by some reference features termed as “grading sources”. The “grading source” gathers the type of grading, position of grading and a material grading function for controlling the material transitions and a union operation is defined for interacting between different grading sources.

A proposed ISO 10303 (STEP)-based approach for representing heterogeneous objects for layered manufacturing
Solid modeling of objects forms an important task in design and manufacturing. Recent developments in the field of layered manufacturing (LM) have shown potential for the physical realization of heterogeneous (multi-material) objects. Thus, there is a need to represent material information as an integral part of the CAD model data. Slicing of the CAD model is an inherent part of process plannin...
متن کاملCAD Paradigm for Modeling, Analyses, Visualization and Rapid Manufacturing of Heterogeneous Objects
A number of representation schemas have been developed for material modeling to generate a 3D CAD model of heterogeneous objects. The downstream applications of analysis, fabrication and visualization require sharing the geometric and material information data among modules. Thus, the 3D CAD model should be able to be integrated with all these modules for successful realization of heterogeneous...
متن کاملA Framework for Cad Modeling of Heterogeneous Objects
The conventional CAD modeling approaches only provide geometry and topology of the object but do not contain any information with regard to the materials of the object and so can not be used for the fabrication of heterogeneous objects (HO) through rapid prototyping. A CAD modeling approach using voxelization based material model is represented for the fabrication of HO with simple object geome...
متن کاملPhysics - Based Modeling for Heterogeneous Objects
Heterogeneous objects are composed of different constituent materials. In these objects, material properties from different constituent materials are synthesized into one part. Therefore, heterogeneous objects can offer new material properties and functionalities. The task of modeling material heterogeneity (composition variation) is a critical issue in the design and fabrication of such hetero...
