This paper presents design automation system using API and parametric modeling of solid modeler, which is applied on axial fans for cooling towers. The design data including chord length and twist angle according to the fan length are given by design program, and API functions are applied to automate the modeling and assembly process of fan blade. The boss to connect fan and motor is designed with parametric design function provided by UG so as to be flexibly changed by the value of design parameters. The process of generating 2-D drafting for parts and an assembly is also automated. With developed system, the modeling time is reduced to 5 minutes even with unskilled operators.

기존의 솔리드 모델링 시스템은 형상 표현에 있어서의 제약성과 통합 시스템으로서의 폐쇄성으로 인하여 응용 범위에 제약이 따른다. 이러한 약점을 극복하고자 하는 노력의 일환으로서, 최근에 등장한 것이 비다양체 모델을 지원하는 CAD 시스템 커널이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 비다양체 모델을 지원할 수 있는 모델링 커널 시스템 개발의 기초가 되는 비다양체 자료구조와 이것을 바탕으로 한 오일러 공식 및 오일러 작업에 대해 소개한다. 그리고 이러한 오일러 작업을 실제로 구현하여 모델링 작업을 수행해 봄으로써, 본 논문에서는 제안된 비다양체 자료구조와 오일러 작업의 유용성을 보인다.

The aim of this paper is to develop a collaborative design system that can facilitate remote modification and control of a 3D solid model through the Internet. It enables the users to resolve conflicting viewpoints about an issue and collaborate to design a tangible object within a given set of constraints. In order to optimize the collaborative design system, we focus on the results obtained by using the collaborative design method for the real-time modification of a 3D solid model in a distributed environment. It also provides the method of managing the consistency between design entities. The efficiency of the system is verified by implementing it in a distributed environment.

In this study, the geometric modeling has been conducted for the current lower end fitting and 2 candidates using three-dimensional solid modeler, Solidworks. Then, the three-dimensional stress analysis using the finite element method has been performed. The evaluation for the mechanical integrity of 2 candidates has been performed based on the stress distribution obtained from the finite element analysis.

This paper describes an automatic finite element mesh generation for finite element analysis of three-dimensional structures. It is consisting of fuzzy knowledge processing, bubble meshing and solid geometry modeler. This novel mesh generation process consists of three subprocesses: (a) definition of geometric model, i.e. analysis model, (b) generation of bubbles, and (c) generation of elements. One of commercial solid modelers is employed for three-dimensional solid structures. Bubble is generated if its distance from existing bubble points is similar to the bubble spacing function at the point. The bubble spacing function is well controlled by the fuzzy knowledge processing. The Delaunay method is introduced as a basic tool for element generation. Automatic generation of finite element for three-dimensional solid structures holds great benefits for analyses. Practical performances of the present system are demonstrated through several mesh generations for 3D geometry.

복잡한 형상의 서지 탱크를 CAEDS의 GEOMOD를 이용하여 내부의 리보까지 포함한 용기를 모델링하였으며, 설계 부피를 검사하고 GEOMOD와 GFEM 사이의 직접 데이터 교환을 통하여 구조 해석에 필요한 유한요소를 만들었다. 유한요소법에 최적화 이론을 적용하여 서지탱크의 두께 변화에 따른 응력의 설계 민감도를 구하였으며, 민감도를 근거로 보강 위치 및 국부적인 용기의 두께를 결정하였다. 유한요소법 프로그램(IFES, GFEM)과 솔리드 모델러(GEOMOD), 그리고 최적화 기법(IFES-Optimization)을 모두 통합하여, 최적 설계를 수행함으로써 반복되는 실험에 의한 시간과 경비를 줄임과 동시에 신뢰성 있는 설계방법 및 방향을 제시하였다.

In the metal cutting, machining accuracies had affected by tool deflection that had been generated by acting cutting force on the cutting edges. Generally, the CAD/CAM and a solid modeler had used for the simulation of cutting process only. Some NC codes for metal cutting have been generated by these simulation results. But, machining errors that had generated by the tool deflection has not solved using these system. In this study, determination algorithm for integration zone has been studied using the commercial solid modeler. The tool deflection error has calculated by the integration zone between the small chip and the cutting edges.

Many researches on the prediction of cutting forces of ball-end mil is have been achieved since before several decades ago. These kinds of researches have been concentrated on the study on how to make the prediction equations for the cutting forces based on 2-D cutting experimentation. The results of them were really good and impressive. But it's not proper to practical uses for industrial fields, because if sculptured surface were to be machined, then it would be very difficult to understand the complicated kinematical interaction between the sculptured surface and the flutes of a ball-end mill. So, we propose the method for solving these kind of problems using existed commercial CAD/CAM software; Unigraphics. Furthermore, the modification of tool path which is done off line is offered to increase the precision of cutting.

Integrating a 3D solid modeler with a general purpose FEM code, an automatic stress intensity factor analysis system of the 3D crack problems has been developed. A geometry model, i.e. a solid containing one or several 3D cracks is defined. Several distributions of local node density are chosen, and then automatically superposed on one another over the geometry model by using the fuzzy knowledge processing. Nodes are generated and quadratic tetrahedral solid elements are generated by the Delaunay triangulation techniques. Finally, the complete finite element(FE) model generated, and a stress analysis is performed. This paper describes the methodologies to realize such functions, and demonstrates the validity of the present system.
