Integration of Explicit Geometric Constraints in the Comparison of 3D CAD Models for Part Design Reuse

چکیده
Advancements in 3D CAD allow product shape to act as a common language to represent and retrieve reusable product information in PLM systems. While shape-based retrieval techniques contribute to the part design reuse process by retrieving similar part models, selecting the optimal candidate for reuse remains a challenge. A more refined shape comparison process is required to locate single shape differences between reference and candidate CAD models, and to represent them intuitively and functionally in relation to part design. We have developed a 3D CAD model comparison method focused on the representation of shape differences between similar models with respect to the reference’s geometric constraints. The proposed method comprises the explicit representation of CAD data, the mapping and differentiation of B-Rep model elements and the re-evaluation of geometric constraints according to shape differences. It will contribute to reliable decision making by promoting part design reuse during the development of new mechanical products.

Explicit Communication of Geometric Design Intent in Cad: Evaluating Annotated Models in the Context of Reusability
CAD model reusability is largely determined by a proper communication of design intent, which is usually expressed implicitly within the model. Recent studies have suggested the use of 3D annotations as a method to embed design information in the model’s geometry and make part of the design knowledge explicitly available. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of this method and analyze i...
متن کاملSimilarity Assessment of 3D Mechanical Components for Design Reuse
Duplicate designs consume a significant amount of resources in most new product development. Search of similar parts for a given query part is the key to avoid this problem by facilitating design reuse. Most search algorithms convert CAD model into a shape signature and compute the similarity between two models according to a measure function of their signatures. However, each algorithm defines...

This paper presents an approach for the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). Our general goal is to develop a VR–CAD framework making possible intuitive and direct 3D edition on CAD objects within Virtual Environments (VE). Such a framework can be applied to collaborative part design activities and to immersive project reviews. The cornerstone of our approach is ...
متن کاملHow can we exploit typical architectural structures to improve model recovery? - 3D Data Processing Visualization and Transmission, 2002. Proceedings. First International Symposiu
In this work we address the question of how to exploit typical architectural structures to improve recovery for CAD modeling of built environments from 3D data. In doing so we have examined the applicability of the GENOCOP III algorithm to the model fitting. The algorithm uses explicit domain knowledge, specifically geometric constraints in the form of parameterized surface models and an Euclid...
