To ensure drive's field of view, obstruction area generated by a steering wheel, hub and spoke must be considered at the early stage of automobile design. The current approach to computing obstruction area proposed by SAE is based on 2D drafting procedures so that it is not precise and errorprone. In the paper we discuss the novel approach which models the obstruction area as the shadows of the steering wheel, hub and spoke by assuming the human eye as light sources. The approach is based on ray tracing and space transformations for that it can be applied when free form curves are hired to represent the steering wheel, hub and spoke in CAD environment. As a result, it gives more predise and reliable results than SAE approach.

A proper model of expert system for the very thin sheet metal press die design has been suggested. Using the suggested model, an expert system of the very thin sheet metal press die has been developed. This study contains that the results from the developed system for three kinds of specimens have the adaptability in the actual site. In addition, the possibility for expansion of this system has been discussed. The developed system, which is based on the knowledge base, has been included in a lot of expert's technology in the practice field. C-language under the HP-UNIX system and CIS customer language of the EXCESS CAD/CAM system have been used as the overall CAD environment. Results from this system will provide effective aids to the designer in this field.

The goal of this research is to develop a Heel/Side Laster and control GUI(Graphic User Interface) for adaptive manufacturing. For this purpose, we have analyzed the working sequences of heel/side laster, and developed a control program that will facilitate the machineries with functions that are suitable for adaptive manufacturing. We also made it possible to modify the gluing path with simple manipulation of CAD data. By providing a user-friendly GUI, we made it possible for unskilled workers use the system without difficulty. In addition, we have developed a flexible environment where the already available CAD data can be modified and saved with ease. Automatic feeding and path control algorithms for thermoplastic cement were also implemented. By using the Heel/Side Laster for adaptive manufacturing, we are able to achieve increased productivity and work efficiency while improving the quality of the product with self-diagnosis and fine adjustment function.

The information technology of computers and computer tools have become so powerful that virtual enterprises are not just concepts any longer The virtual enterprises comprise distributed facilities and it is necessary to have a collaborative system among them. This paper proposes the modeling process of web-based collaborative system in the distributed manufacturing environment. It also presents the information infrastructure in order to communicate and to share the information more efficiently among the collaboration subsystem. The web-based collaborative system consists of four processes: 1) product design, 2) procurement of DB information, 3) query process, and 4) negotiation. The proposed web-based collaborative system will be implemented with network technologies.

Designing Trim die block is a complicated and time-consuming process heavily resting on the experience of the designer. To reduce design time and human errors, a knowledge base is used to automated the design process. In this paper, a framework of the Rule-based CAD System is presented for trim die block design consisting of a rule-base, design process control module and geometric modeler (CATIA). The rule-base includes design rules and know-how of design specialist. CATIA is used as the overall CAD environment and rule-base and design control modules are developed by C++ language with an interface to CATIA. Using the rule-base, the designer can explore alternating designs fast by changing design parameters and the part-list is automatically created which avoids miscommunication.

A number of construction projects tied to the concerns and decision-making is also very complicated. In addition, more than any other industry, is inherent in many risk factors. In the course of the construction project on risk factors that exist in the early stages of project risk factors to predict in advance and prepare a project by shortening the construction period and project cost as you can to maximize performance. In this study, I proposed risk management processes and how they are used in web-based schedule risk in the process of change management system, and between 3D CAD, 4D CAD taking into account the linkages, risk management strategy process in the BIM environment.

In the milling operation, the burr can be generated on the intersection of cutting tool and workpiece. Due to burr formation, we expect lower efficiency in the operation and the cost increase. In order to understand the burr formation mechanism in the milling operation on the arbitrary feature, we developed an algorithm to analyse and predict the exit burr formation mechanism. Firstly, the recognition of arbitrary shaped workpiece was done through the CAD data. This data includes point information on the vertices of the workpiece. Secondly, tile CAM data regarding tool geometry, tool path, cutting speed, and material data are retrieved to simulate the actual cutting process. Thirdly, we predict the exit burr formation on the edge of workpiece based on the geometric analysis. Lastly, an algorithm implemented in the Windows environment to visualize the burr formation simulation. With this information, we can predict which portion of workpiece would have the exit burr in advance so that we call manage to find a way to minimize the edit burr formation in the actual cutting.

The environment of Ubiquitous in terms of improvement is being expanded to various fields and time enabled system. Thus, a real-time spatial information management system has been developed by integrating a human movement detection system into a SICS(Spatial Information Control System) engine that can integrally manage inside spatial information extracted from 3D CAD and outside spatial information of GIS. The add-on program was developed to extract spatial information necessary for the SICS engine from 3D CAD information, and a human movement detection system was developed. Test bed was operated for 2weeks and indoor human flow information was found out by zone. Also, the direction of future research was decided through a test bed.

De-manufacturing is an entire process of collecting, disassembling, reusing, refurbishing, recycling, and/or disposing products that are obsolete or un-repairable. Designing the products for inexpensive and efficient disassembly enhances the ease of de-manufacturing. Virtual disassembly addresses the difficulty and the methods to disassemble a product in design stage rather than really disassemble a product at the end of its life cycle. Based on the virtual disassembly analysis results, design will be improved for better assembling/disassembling. This paper presents a systematic virtual disassembly methodology such as disassembly relation modeling, path/sequence automatic generation and evaluation. This paper also presents a new virtual disassembly interface paradigm via virtual reality technology for disassembly simulation in virtual environment.

Combining digital automation solutions throughout recent manufacturing process is essential. Advanced robot and mechanical techniques are required for design, manufacture, and distribution process. Manual design of repetitive similar mechanical components during the development phase of these advanced machines and robots can occur wasting time and money. Developed gear design module, which is the power transfer system mechanical component, was programmed in the Visual Basic language in CATIA V5 environment. Automation Process is Based on Parametric Modeling Method. and it was found to be effective in reducing design time compared to designers manual modeling.
