Using Geometric Constraints to Capture Design Intent
نویسنده
چکیده
With the use of geometric constraints, parametric and variational solid modeling systems enable designers to incorporate relationships between geometric entities into the geometric model and thereby control potential changes in geometry. The objective of developing these constraints or relations is to capture the intent of the designer and restrict changes that may be made by other users of the model. This paper will describe methods and strategies for constraining geometric models and show how these models capture design intent.

Constructing Regularity Feature Trees for Solid Models
Approximate geometric models, e.g. as created by reverse engineering, describe the approximate shape of an object, but do not record the underlying design intent. Automatically inferring geometric aspects of the design intent, represented by feature trees and geometric constraints, enhances the utility of such models for downstream tasks. One approach to design intent detection in such models i...
متن کاملConstrained Multi-Objective Optimization Problems in Mechanical Engineering Design Using Bees Algorithm
Many real-world search and optimization problems involve inequality and/or equality constraints and are thus posed as constrained optimization problems. In trying to solve constrained optimization problems using classical optimization methods, this paper presents a Multi-Objective Bees Algorithm (MOBA) for solving the multi-objective optimal of mechanical engineering problems design. In the pre...

The design process involves selecting between design alternatives based on the requirements and constraints defining the system being developed. The design alternatives and the reasons for selecting one over another form the Design Rationale (DR) for the system. This information represents the designers’ intent and can be used to evaluate the design alternatives and determine the impact on the ...

In design and manufacturing applications, users of computer aided design systems want to de ne relationships between dimension variables, since such relationships express design intent very exibly. This work reports on a technique developed to enhance a class of constructive geometric constraint solvers with the capability of managing functional relationships between dimension variables. The me...
