Recently, eVTOL, the next-generation of eco-friendly transportation, has been in the spotlight due to global warming along with traffic jams in large cities of many countries. This study benchmark the external features of Hyundai Motors S-A1, a compound eVTOL combined fixed and tilt rotors among many types of eVTOLs, to create the basic configuration using reverse design techniques. Basic configurations were created using CATIA and aerodynamic analyses were performed using the aircraft design and aerodynamic analysis programs, OpenVSP, XFLR5, and the aircraft wetted area, drag, and lift were calculated after selecting the airfoil, incidence angle, and dihedral and anhedral angles through trade study. Also, required powers were estimated for completing the given mission profile and components weight and the total weight were predicted using the estimation formula and data survey.

To improve the lift, cruise speed, and range of eVTOL aircraft, which are being considered as future transportation vehicles, this paper introduces the concepts of Tilt Rotor and Tandem Wing to the aircraft. We developed an aircraft and conducted flight experiments to obtain flight videos and flight logs. The results of the analysis of the flight videos and flight logs showed that the aircraft's moment was excessively forward and the attitude was not recovered. To address this problem, we modified the wing incidence angles and surface areas in XFLR5 to obtain the optimal pitching moment coefficients to ensure vertical stability. We then analyzed the redesigned aircraft, developed using CATIA, through XFLR5. The results of this study provide valuable insights, suggesting that the incorporation of Tilt Rotor and Tandem Wing designs can contribute to achieving stable pitching moment coefficients. This innovative approach offers a promising avenue to significantly enhance vertical stability in UAM vehicles, paving the way for future advancements in the field.

The swept volume, the region of a moving object, is applied in many fields such as valid paths for motions of tools, visualization in robot paths and interference tests for parts assembling or disjointing. The shape of a swept volume depends on an generators computed with normal vectors of an object and velocity vectors of a motion. Although free-from surfaces are widely used to represent geometric models in CAD, computing the generators for a free-form object is a formidable task. Previous approaches exploit the closed form expressions of generators but limited to planer or quadric faces. In this paper, we propose the algorithm to compute swept volumes generated by free-form objects in screw motions. For the algorithm a tracing method is applied to the computation of generators. It considers curvatures of surfaces of an object to increase the computational accuracy. We implemented our algorithm in the CATIA V.5 environment to test the validity of our algorithm and to generate examples.

이 논문에서는 CATIA, PRO-E 등의 CAD에서 3D 모델을 생성할 때 사용하는 파라메트릭 솔리드 모델링 기법에서 일반적으로 사용하는 방법보다 모델링 데이터의 용량을 크게 줄일 수 있는 방법에 대하여 고찰한다. 3D 파라메트릭 솔리드 모델링 기법은 기본적인 상세 솔리드들을 생성하여 부울(Boolean) 연산으로 이들을 조합하여 복잡한 형상(geometric object)을 만드는데 이 과정에서 많은 부울 연산이 수행된다. 그런데 각각의 상세 솔리드들의 크기가 필요 이상으로 크게 만들어 짐으로써 생성된 모델의 데이터 용량이 방대하게 되고 생성시간에도 영향을 미친다. 여기에서는 실무 경험을 바탕으로 처음에 생성된 상세 솔리드의 불필요한 부분을 제거하여 부울 연산에 알맞은 크기로 변경하여 모델링 데이터의 용량을 줄이는 방법을 제안한다.

The amount of information increases rapidly when working in a distributed environment where multiple collaborative partners work together on a complex product. Today's PDM (product data management) systems provide good capabilities regarding the management of product data within a single company. However, taking into account the variety of systems used at partner sites in an engineering environment one can easily imagine problems regarding the interoperability and the data consistency. This paper presents a concept to improve the workflow management using the parameters network. It shows a parameter driven engineering workflow that is able to manage engineering task across company boarders. We introduce a mechanism of workflow management based on the engineering parameters and an architecture of the distributed workspace to apply it within a PDM system. For a parameter mapping between CAD and PDM system we developed an XML-based CATIA data interface module using CAA.

Pencil-curve machining, which is a single-pass ball-end milling along a concave edge on adie surface, is widely employed in die-surface machining. The cutter-path used for pencil-curve machining, which is the trajectory of the “ball-center point” of a ball-endmill sliding along a concave-edge region on the die surface, is called pencil-curve. Presented in the paper is a pencil-curve tracing algorithm in which “concave-type” sharp edges are computed from a “virtually digitized” model of the tool-envelope surface. The resulting “initial” pencil-cures are then refuted by applying a series of fairing operations. illustrative examples and methods for enhancing accuracy are also presented. The proposed pencil-curve tracing algorithm has been successfully implemented in a commercial CAM system specialized in die-machining and in the CAD/CAM system CATIA.

승용차 산업과 같이 정밀 부품이 요구되는 산업에 있어서 가장 기초가 되고도 중요한 것은 시작금형에 해당하는 정밀 목형 제작이라고 할 수 있다. 부품의 개발은 일반적으로 설계과정, 도면화 과정, 시제품 개발과정, 시제품 성능시험과정, 양산체제 구축과정 등의 순서를 밟는다. 이 과정 중에서 시제품 개발과정은 설계에 의해서 만들어진 제품이 실제 설계자의 의도와 일치하는지를 확인하는 과정이다. 이 과정에서 부품 간의 간섭, 치수나 형상의 확인, 기능 혹은 성능상의 문제점 등을 검토하여 양산체제시에 발생할 수 있는 문제점 등을 최대한 제거하여야 한다. 그런데 시제품 제작에 걸리는 기간이 개발과정 중에서도 비교적 큰 부분을 차지하고 있어 이의 단축이 시급한 실정이다. 현재 시제품 제작업체들 중에서 프레스 금형을 위한 판넬 수지가공에는 3D CAD/CAM을 많이 적용하고 있지만, 주물 소재용 목형제작은 대부분 숙련된 기술자의 수작업에 의존하고 있다. 따라서 개발기간 단축과 비용절감이라는 완성차 업계의 요구와는 거리가 있는 실정이다. 당사는 이미 실린더 헤드, 매니홀더, 트랜스밋션 케이스, 헤드커버, 실린드블럭 등 자동차 엔진의 핵심부품들의 목형을 3D CAD/CAM을 이용하여 생산하고 있기 때문에 이중 트랜스밋션 케이스의 목형제작 과정을 소개하고자 한다.

This paper describes a new practical simplification method for feature-based solid models. In this approach, a solid model created using feature modeling operations is first simplified by the suppression of detailed features, and then, if necessary, the model is converted to a surface model to facilitate its modification. Finally, the simplified surface model is delivered to analysis packages. The algorithm was implemented based on CATIA V.5 and applied to mid-surface generation of plastic parts for structural analysis to prove the validity and usefulness.
