IE 305 PRODUCT DESIGN, SPECIFICATION AND QUALIFICATION COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (CAD) and the DIGITAL THREAD Course Instructor Prof. Edward C. De Meter Dept. of Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering The Pennsylvania State University MODERN CAD TOOL What is it? ◼ Software that enables: ◼ geometric design of a part or product assembly through the creation, manipulation, and rendering of geometric models ◼ gateway into other computer-aided enterprise functions ◼ Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) ◼ Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) ◼ Computer Aided Metrology (CAM) ◼ ever expanding capability toward the creation and storage of product design attribute data and manufacturing data (i.e. Product Manufacturing Information (PMI)) MODERN CAD TOOL What drives it? GUI Software Library Parasolid Software Library Model Rendering Model Creation Model Manipulation Model Storage SolidWorks Graphical User Interface SolidWorks Software ◼ Graphical User Interface (GUI) software for basic user interaction ◼ Vendor platform specific {SolidWorks, AutoDesk, Unigraphics, CATIA, etc.} ◼ Geometric Modeling Kernel (GMK) software for solid model creation, storage, and rendering ◼ Parasolid, ACIS, GRANITE, etc. ◼ Used across multiple vendor specific platforms MODERN CAD TOOL What is a Solid Model? line 3 x3 a3∙x =b3 x2 point 3 point 2 a4∙x =b4 a2∙x =b2 line 2 line 4 point 4 point 1 x2 line 1 x4 a1∙x =b1 x1 x1 Rendered Solid Model Solid Model ◼ Solid model is a boundary representation comprised of: ◼ Surface Representation Data ◼ Line Representation Data ◼ End Point Representation Data ◼ Representation data include mathematical type and coefficients ◼ Example: ◼ element: line 1 ◼ form: a1∙x =b1; ◼ coefficients stored: a1,b1 MODERN CAD TOOL What is a Solid Model? line 3 x3 a3∙x =b3 x2 point 3 point 2 a4∙x =b4 a2∙x =b2 line 2 line 4 point 4 point 1 x2 line 1 x4 a1∙x =b1 x1 x1 Rendered Solid Model Solid Model ◼ Representation data also stores mathematical connectivity between elements: ◼ Example: ◼ element: point 1 is the corner point intersection of lines 1 & 2 ◼ coefficients: x1 = f(a1,b1, a2,b2) MODERN CAD TOOL What is a Solid Model? line 3 x3 a3∙x =b3 x2 point 3 point 2 a4∙x =b4 a2∙x =b2 line 2 line 4 point 4 point 1 x2 line 1 x4 a1∙x =b1 x1 x1 Rendered Solid Model Solid Model ◼ Points in general are identified as either: ◼ surface point ◼ interior point ◼ exterior point ◼ Example ◼ Surface Point: 𝐱 ∈ { 𝒂𝟏 ∙ 𝒙 = 𝒃𝟏 } ∪ {𝒂𝟐 ∙ 𝒙 = 𝒃𝟐 } ∪ {𝒂𝟑 ∙ 𝒙 = 𝒃𝟑 } ∪ {𝒂𝟒 ∙ 𝒙 = 𝒃𝟒 } ◼ Interior Point: 𝐱 ∈ { 𝒂𝟏 ∙ 𝒙 < 𝒃𝟏 } ∩ {𝒂𝟐 ∙ 𝒙 < 𝒃𝟐 } ∩ {𝒂𝟑 ∙ 𝒙 < 𝒃𝟑 } ∩ {𝒂𝟒 ∙ 𝒙 < 𝒃𝟒 } ◼ Exterior Point: 𝐱 ∈ { 𝒂𝟏 ∙ 𝒙 > 𝒃𝟏 } ∪ {𝒂𝟐 ∙ 𝒙 > 𝒃𝟐 } ∪ {𝒂𝟑 ∙ 𝒙 > 𝒃𝟑 } ∪ {𝒂𝟒 ∙ 𝒙 > 𝒃𝟒 } MODERN CAD TOOL What is a Solid Model? = + Dependent Solid Model Independent Solid Model Independent Solid Model ◼ Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) ◼ Used to represent higher level, dependent solid models as Boolean: ◼ unions or intersections ◼ additions or subtractions ◼ of independently defined solid models Computer Aided Design How are Solid Models Used?
