In this paper, evaluation method of structural integrity of cylindrical composite lattice structures was conducted. A finite element analysis was used to evaluate the structural integrity of composite lattice structures. In order to verify the optimal finite element in the evaluation of the structural integrity, finite element models for cylindrical composite lattice structure were generated using beam, shell and solid elements. The results of the finite element analyses with the shell and solid element models showed a good agreement. However, considerable differences were found between the beam element model and the shell and solid models. This occurred because the beam element does not take into account the degradation of the mechanical properties of the non-intersection parts of cylindrical composite lattice structures. It was found that the finite element analysis of evaluation of structural integrity for cylindrical composite lattice structures have to use solid element.

To build tetrahedra mesh for FEM numerical analysis, Boundary Representation (B-Rep) model is required, which provides the efficient volume description of an object. In engineering, the parametric solid modeling method is used for building B-Rep model. However, a geological modeling generally adopts discrete modeling based on the triangulated surface, called a Sealed Geological Model, which defines geological domain by using geological interfaces such as horizons, faults, intrusives and modeling boundaries. Discrete B-Rep model is incompatible with mesh generation softwares in engineering because of discrepancies between discrete and parametric technique. In this research we have developed a converting program from Sealed Geological Model to Gmsh and COMSOL software. The developed program can convert complex geological model built by geomodeling software to user-friendly FEM software and it can be applied to geoscience simulation such as geothermal, mechanical rock simulation etc.

Rapid Prototyping(RP)이란 3차원 솔리드 모델을 단면화한 뒤 하나씩 적층하는 가공방식을 총칭한다. 이때 단면화하는 방법에 따라서 uniform, adaptive slicing으로 나뉘며, 입력 모델에 따라서 direct slicing과 STL을 이용한 방식으로 나뉜다. 적층 방법에 따라서는 연속된 2D 윤곽을 기반으로 적층하는 vertical layer 방식과 인접한 두 개의 2D 윤곽들을 연결하며 만들어진 3D layer를 기반으로 가공하는 sloping layer방식으로 나뉠 수 있다. 현재 상용 RP 시스템들에서는 거의 모든 경우 vertical layer 방식이 채택되어 사용되고 있다. RP와 절삭 공정, 예를 들면 CNC 밀링의 장점을 효율적으로 결합하기 위해서는 임의의 복잡한 형상을 갖는 솔리드 모델을 정밀도에 제한이 없이 제조할 수 있어야 한다. 그러나 절삭 공정은 특별한 전문적 지식들을 필요로 한다 또한 상용 RP에서 사용하는 순차적인 적층 작업으로는 가공할 수 없는 형상들이 많다. 대표적인 것으로 지지대를 필요로 하는 형상들이 있다. 이러한 형상들을 지원하기 위해서는 복잡한 3D 형상을 절삭 가능한 형식으로 분할하는 것과 적층 가능한 순서대로 공정 계획하는 것이 필요하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 SDM에서 제시된 3D 분할 방법이 솔리드 모델을 기반으로 전개되어 STL file과 같은 삼각다면체 형식으로 근사화된 모델에 적용하기 어렵다는데 착안하여 STL file에서 읽어들인 삼각 다면체 모델을 가공 가능한 3D 형상으로 분할하는 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다.

As computer systems and communication technologies develop rapidly, CSCW(Computer Supported Collaborative Work) system appears nowadays, through which it is available to work on virtual space without any restriction of time and place. Most of CWCS systems depend on a special network and groupware. The systems of graphics and CAD are not so many because they are specified by hardware and application software. We propose a Web-based collaborative CAD system which is independent from any platforms, and develop a 3D solid modeler in the system. This system can be worked in the environment of Client/Server architecture. Clients connect to the design server through Java applet on WWW. The server is implemented by Java application.

To expedite construction of small precast concrete buildings using dry joints, this study developed and evaluated a connector system for solid slabs. The research included a comprehensive literature review on seismic design requirements for precast concrete floors, followed by an analytical evaluation of the connector's bearing capacity in 3-story buildings. Experimental assessments were conducted to determine the in-plane and out-of-plane capacities of the newly designed semi-circular connector. Finally, the constructability of both the semi-circular and flat connector configurations was compared through tests on single-story precast concrete frames.

Discrete topology optimization processes of structures start from an initial design domain which is described by the topology of constant material densities. During optimization procedures, the structural topology changes in order to satisfy optimization problems in the fixed design domain, and finally, the optimization produces material density distributions with optimal topology. An introduction of initial holes in a design domain presented by Eschenauer et at. has been utilized in order to improve the optimization convergence of boundary-based shape optimization methods by generating finite changes of design variables. This means that an optimal topology depends on an initial topology with respect to topology optimization problems. In this study, it is investigated that various optimal topologies can be yielded under constraints of usable material, when partial solid phases are deposited in an initial design domain and thus initial topology is finitely changed. As a numerical application, structural topology optimization of a simple MBB-Beam is carried out, applying partial circular solid phases with varying sizes to an initial design domain.

솔리드 모델의 새로운 분야인 복합다양체 모델을 지원하는 자료구조중 Radial-edge 자료구조 Vertex-Based 자료구조, 부분면 자료구조에 대하여, 각각의 위상요소들을 살펴보고 그들의 차이점을 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과 각 자료 구조들은 각각 독특한 장점을 갖고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 즉 Radial-edge 자료구조는 자료의 저장성 및 알고리즘의 복잡성 등에서 무난한 편이며, 부분면 자료구조는 자료 저장공간 측면에서 유리하고, Vertex-based 자료구조는 꼭지점에서의 복합다양체 상황 표현이 가장 명확히 됨을알수 있었다. 이와 같은 복합다양체를 지원하는 자료구조들의 특징과 차이점의 분석을 통하여 복합다양체 모델의 개발을 위한 기초를 마련하였다.

컴퓨터를 이용한 제품의 설계시 개념설계부터 최종설계에 이르는 동안 설계모델은 많은 수정을 요하게 된다. 이 과정에서 개념설계 단계부터 솔리드 모델을 채용하는 것은 불편하므로, 와이어프레임 모델이나 곡면 모델을 이용하여 설계를 진행하다가, 최종설계 단계에서 솔리드 모델로 전환하는 것이 바람직하다. 이 경우 이 3가지 모델을 모두 지원하는 모델러가 요구되는데 '복합다양체'를 지원하는 모델러가 이 요건을 만족시킨다. 또한 경계표현(B-rep)방식으로 모델링시 불리안 작업자를 많이 이용하는데, 모델링 도중에 불리한 작업으로 생성된 모델의 Undo작업은 용이하지 않은 일이다. 따라서 불리안 작업으로 생성된 모델의 수정작업을 위한 알고리즘이 요구된다, 일한 수정작업을 위해선 복합다양체를 지원하는 자료구조가 필요하다. 본 논문에선 이러한 복합다양체 자료구조를 갖는 형상모델러의 기본적 자료구조와 기본물체 모델링시 오일러 작업자를 구현하였다.

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.

This paper describes a split operation for generation of core and cavity plates of an injection mold for a pseudo-solid model of a plastic part. Here, a pseudo-solid model means a sheet model that looks like a solid model. but whose boundary is not closed. When a solid model created in a different CAD system is imported through standard data exchange format, a pseudo-solid model is created in most cases as tolerance or some other problems make sewing operation failed. As most existing mold design system based on solid modeling kernels require a complete part solid model, mold designers have to do time-consuming healing operations to convert a pseudo-solid to solid. The essential capability of mold design system is the split operation for generation of core and cavity plates. Thus. we developed a split operation for pseudo-solid part model to eliminate or reduce healing preprocessing for mold design.
