Optimization of Product's Tipping Position in Designing Die Face for Manufacturing Automobile Outer Panels

차체 외판의 제작을 위한 다이페이스 설계에 있어서 제품 성형방향의 최적화

A procedure has be developed to optimize the product's tipping position in designing a die face for manufacturing automobile outer panels. Two design requirements are considered in optimizing the tipping position. One is to satisfy that all the points on the product should have a uniform distribution of drawing depths. The other is to guarantee that the user-specified area on the product should first contact with the binder wrap. The problem to satisfy the design requirements described above is analogous to the flatness calculation problem in the area of metrology if some constraints can be imposed. Thus the problem can be solved by the simulated annealing method, which is one of the optimization methods. The developed procedure was tested with the real die face design problem and the usefulness was verified by the diagram of the drawing depth.

본 논문에서는 초기 변형소재가 이미 결정된 상태에서 제품의 최적 성형 방향 을 구하는 방법을 기술하였다. 초기 변형소재는 블랭크 호울더 곡면에 의해 변형된 중간 단면들에서의 형상을 에너지 최소화 개념을 적용하여 스플라인 곡선으로 나타내 고 이것들로 부터 곡선망을 구성한 후 최종적으로 양방향 스키닝기법(bi-directional skinning technique)에 의해 구현 하였다.
