DICOM images of patellofemoral bones were converted into a stereolithography file, and a Unigraphics CAD program was used to create a CAD modeling in which there exists point, line and facet information. The modeling extraction of joint facets was performed by linking two adjacent points into lines in the stereolithography file by using the Unigraphics rapid spacing function and then linking the lines into facets to complete the entire modeling. This modeling extraction was performed based on the anatomical knowledge of joint facet directions. As a result, a personalized space modeling and solid modeling were produced for the joint facets of patellofemoral bones. This was followed by a CAM control computing operation of solid modeling on graphite materials and 5-axis machining of patellofemoral bones. That is the description of a method for a personalized implant modeling by using DICOM images of patellofemoral bones.

In order to enhance the productivity of design and manufacture of injection molds, various computer-aided systems have been developed and introduced to mold manufacturers. The customized 3-D CAD systems for mold design is one of the most representative computer-aided system. However, these systems usually do not provide a convenient way to access and manage design knowledge implemented in them. To overcome this shortage, knowedge-based engineering systems have been developed, and now they are imbedded as modules of commercial CAD systems. In this paper, we introduced a 3-D design system for standard mold base based on Knowledge Fusion, a commercialized KBE system imbedded in Unigraphics. By introducing KBE system, design knowledge can be exposed to the users and modified by the end-users.

This paper describes the runner and gate design capabilities of the RAMEDS system, which is a specialized CAD system for injection mold design, dcvcloped using the application procedure interface of the Unigraphics system. In this system, runners lying on sculptuted partlng surface can be modeled by projecting the runner trajectory on the surface and sweeping a selected cross section along the projcctcd trajectory. In addtion, the system provides solid modeling capabilities for three types of gates currently.

As 3-D solid modeling systems have been widely used in product design recently, dedicated design systems for molds of the products have been developed and introduced to mold manufacturers. These mold design systems provide solid modeling capabilites for mechanism to free undercuts. This paper describes an algorithm for slide design capability that has been developed based on a commercial CAD system, Unigraphics. Since the relationship between slide parts were investigated and predefined using parameters in the system, the dimensions and locations of the parts are modifed automatically when a part is modified.

Fuel gas compressor system is applied to medium FPSO. In order to avoid surge, this system used the anti-surge valves. When surge occurs it may lead to system's fracture. So anti-surge valves are evaluated structural strength and structural safety. Especially, in emergency mode, valves are must be guaranteed structural safety. In this study, structural strength and structural safety of anti-surge valve was evaluated using the numerical simulation. Unigraphics NX 4.0 was used as Geometrical models, structural strength and structural safety calculation were carried out by ANSYS Workbench 12.1. The ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code is refer to allowable strength and safety factor of the valves.

In order to reduce the time needed for design, enterprises recently need the customizing technology that can modify the functions of existing CAD systems according to the their purposes. So most of the companies developing commercial CAD system are providing API to make possible the preparation of macro or external programs, which allow automatic performance of a series of repeated tasks. The objective of the present paper is to achieve more convenient carrying out of a particular modeling, by developing 3D CAD template of the standardized engineering rule of the particular model in order to establish a knowledge-based product development system. The formula, data and design knowledge which are required for the designing of the components of refrigerator were made into a program by means of Unigraphics' UG/Open API. And examples of such a development were presented. By using them in connection with commercial CAD system, design verification and modification were efficiently applied to the product design business.
