Direct Modeling is an emerging CAD technology that uses direct manipulation of the geometry to effect changes in the part model, and is based on a boundary representation database. This paper highlights the differences between Direct Modeling and conventional history-based solid modeling, compares emerging technologies, and discusses what this means for engineering graphics educators. Introduct...

The purpose of this work is to compare the hydrodynamic data real flow simulated by SolidWorks Flow Simulation in an emulsor vortex type. object study emulsion, central part energy separation chamber which a zone low pressure, cavitation zone, created. In dispersion phase collapses. Computer simulation fluid dynamics emulsification process has been suggested optimise design type emulsor. To che...

The paper presents the opportunities for adjustment of operating parameters and constructional shredders polymer materials using CAD/CAE tools. object research is a conical shredder developed on basis patent. For studies SolidWorks application with simulation motion option has been used.

Maintainability is an important character which is given by product design process. The maintainability design criteria and measure index used in product maintainability analysis are summarized and discussed in this paper. A product maintainability design method is studied by integrating the product feature model, maintainability design criteria with measure index. Product feature model can be ...
