Finding intersection point between a surface and a line is one of major problem in CAD/CAM. The intersection point could be found in an exact form or with numerical method. In this paper, the exact solution of the intersection point between a ruled surface which is generated by the movement of an endmill and the z-direction vector is presented. The cutter swept surface which is a ruled surface and the Z-direction vector are represented with parametric equations. With the nature of parametric equations, the geometric properties at the intersection point are easily acquired.

Designer must cope with frequent changes in geometric information of automobile suspension module in the early stage of the design process. The authors developed the PSG(Parametric Set Generator) to create parametric models and to change geometric information concerning the lower arm, which is one of the important parts of the automobile suspension module. CAD models provided from the PSG can be utilized to assess fatigue durability via the FE modeling support system. This system provides easy and fast FE-modeling for a static and durability analysis of the lower arm. The PSG and the FE modeling support system are integrated using the e-engineering framework based on the JADE platform. In this study, a durability analysis as a case study for the lower arm manufactured at H company is performed, and the efficiency obtained is discussed.

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.

We propose the area between a pair of non-self-intersecting 2-D parametric curves with same endpoints as an alternative distance metric between the curves. This metric is used when d curve is approximated with another in a simpler form to evaluate how good the approximation is. The traditional set-theoretic Hausdorff distance can he defined for any pair of curves but requires expensive calculations. Our proposed metric is not only intuitively appealing but also very easy to numerically compute. We present the numerical schemes and test it on some examples to show that our proposed metric converges in a few steps within a high accuracy.

An improved nonparametric tool description based on successive refined monparametric patches is proposed and therlated criterion for refinement is also discussed . In the proposed sheme, any required order of tool surface conformity can be achieved by employing successive refinements accoring to the suggested criterion. By using the suggested adaptive tool refinement technique based on the nonparametric patch tool description, the locally refined nonparametric tool surface with economic memory size and sufficient accuracy as well as with favorable charateristics for contact treatment can be obtained directly form the parametric patch related with commerical CAD system. Computation is carried out for a chosen complex sheet forming example of an actual autobody panel in order to verify the validity and the efficiency of the developed tool surface description.

A new approach for the automatic elimination of free edges in the finite element model for the analysis of sheet metal forming processes is presented. In general, the raw finite element model constructed from an automatic mesh generator is not well suited for the direct use in the downstream forming analysis due to the many free edges which requires tedious time consuming interactive graphic operations of the users. In the present study, a general method for the automatic elimination of free edges is proposed by introducing a CAD/CAE hybrid method. In the method a trimmed parametric surface is generated to fill the holes which are orginated from the free edges by using the one step elastic finite element analysis. In addition, mesh generation algorithm is suggested which can be used in the general trimmed surface. In order to verify the validity of the proposed method, various examples including actual automobile sheet metal parts are given and discussed.

The purpose of the present study is to suggest the development direction for the neutral library which can describe the parametric modeling and design algorithm to design the construction spatial information which is known as BIM. To do this, we surveyed the recent research related to neutral library and analyzed the library technology of BIM modeler such as Revit, Archicad. By using this result, we suggested the development direction based on BIM description script language for the neutral BIM library including the parametric design and the algorithm definition.

A general approach to automatic generation of triangular meshes on three-dimensional surfaces is presented in this paper. The approach, developed with emphasis on program generality and interface with CAD/CAM systems, is based on the double mapping method and the looping method. The double mapping method is introduced and anew splitting scheme is proposed for the looping method employed for triangular mesh generation on the parametric domain. Several application examples are given.

We utilized the isogeometric analysis (IGA) method that uses NURBS basis functions in CAD systems, to account for the geometric exactness of a geometrically exact beam deformation, on a new type of metamaterial, twist-translation coupled structure showing a large twist angle. A two-dimensional unit cell structure was embedded in a cylindrical wall, using free-form deformation and an appropriate interpolation scheme. A parametric study on the effects of the dimensions of the cylinder and the number of cells, on the twisting angle was performed. Furthermore, the mechanism of the twist-translation coupled metamaterial was explored through numerical examples.
