结构造型技术和其在机械三维CAD中的应用.pdf

Abstract A novel 3D modeling technology, named structure-modeling technology (SMT), is proposed in this dissertation, which is on the basis of the feature modeling technology (FMT). It is realized by taking advantages of generating object-oriented hierarchical structural feature (SF) system with mating, coupling etc. engineering constraints’ characteristics in accordance with the attributes and status of the structures of the mechanical devices. It supports to carry out 3D modeling in assembly and integrates part model with assembly model. The National High Tech RD Program of China (863 Program) supported the research with financial aids. This dissertation defines the concept of the SMT, and illustrates the principles of it how effectively and consistently maintains the intent and semantic of a specific design. Compared with the FMT, the SMT can reflect the design intent in a higher lever by means of acquiring and predefining the SFs existing commonly in the mechanical structures, and thus satisfy the practical requirement with them. Due to introduction to the SMT, the disadvantages of the FMT can be prevented from generating the complicated constraint feature model between the part model and assembly model; meanwhile the merits of applying the SMT can be realized, such as perfecting representation method of feature model, supplementing construction and representation method of geometric entity, and then improving design quality and efficiency. A three-element representation scheme, F(Active SF, Passive SF, Engineering Constraints), is introduced for the structure-featur
