自由曲面对象族研究

传统的边界表示方式导致自由曲面特征仅包含几何信息,很显然这种表达方式是很低效的。为此提出了一种有效描述自由曲面特征的新方法,该方法基于陈述式的对象族模型构建自由曲面对象族,使自由曲面具有高层次的语义信息,可以保证自由曲面特征无缝地融合到模型中去,同时满足自由曲面特征与其他特征间的约束关系。通过约束定义自由曲面特征具有的语义信息,在建模过程中功能属性被很好地维护,实现了对自由曲面特征在参数化层次上的描述,并证明了其可行性。     

层次参数化的自由曲面特征表示与实现

Creation of user-defined freeform feature from surface models based on characteristic curves

This paper proposes a novel method for the creation of user-defined freeform feature (UDFFF) from existing surface model. The developed methodology has four major steps: selecting the region of interest (ROI), obtaining the characteristic curves from the surface model, reconstructing the ROI surface, and parameterizing the UDFFF. To quickly create UDFFF on the ROI, the representation of freeform feature based on characteristic curves is proposed. First, the characteristic curves of ROI are obtained automatically or by a small amount of human–computer interaction. In particular, user can directly and easily draw the curves on surface to satisfy the designer's requirements. Second, from the set of characteristic curves that is obtained, freeform surface is reconstructed by a suitable surface generation method, e.g., sweeping, revolving, skinning, and filling. Finally, parameterization of the freeform feature is configured, which primarily involves establishing parameters and building the mappings between feature parameters and shape data. Moreover, according to the degrees of freedom, two types of parameterization of freeform features may be described: one (low degrees of freedom) can be accurately described by the characteristic curves and the other (high degrees of freedom) can be approximated with these curves. The proposed UDFFF creation method has been tested with examples based on the surface models. Experience with our prototype system indicates that it allows untrained users to create UDFFFs from the surface models.     

Feature-based 3D non-manifold freeform object construction

This paper presents a novel technique for modeling a 3D non-manifold freeform model around a 3D reference model. To represent both the design abstractions and the incomplete topological information, a new non-manifold data structure is first defined. Our data structure embodies the functional vitalities of both the boundary representation data structure and the complex-based data structure. Along with our data structure, a set of topological operators is defined to manipulate the entities in the data structure. Based on the non-manifold data structure and the topological operators, we develop a technique to construct 3D freeform objects around a reference model. Intuitive 2D sketches are adopted to specify the detailed profile of the object constructed. The construction method is feature-based – every reference model has pre-defined features, and the feature template of the constructed object is related to the features of the reference model by feature node encoding. Therefore, the surfaces derived from one reference model can be regenerated automatically on another reference model with the same features. The geometry coverage of our geometric modeling approach includes both manifold and non-manifold 3D freeform objects.     

基于特征的离散网格模型表示与编辑技术

本文提出了一种基于特征的离散网格模型表示方法,能够表达传统三维网格模型中缺失的高层次信息,并以模型编辑为例显示了其应用价值.该特征结构利用特征线、特征面、特征组来建立离散网格的特征结构,用于描述模型的形状、约束、语义等信息,在原有网格模型的基础上构建了一个“超网格”.通过构建特征间的拓扑关系和约束关系,模型在编辑过程中能够保持特定的形状、结构属性,同时由于编辑操作造成的网格修改被限定在局部的特征区域内,从而提高了模型编辑的运算效率.

Volumetric feature recognition for machining components with freeform surfaces

This paper describes a procedure for the extraction of features of a part containing a combination of 2.5D features and freeform surfaces. This work invokes a previous algorithm that was designed to recognize machining features from 2.5D parts destined to be machined on a 3-axis milling machine. The essence of that algorithm was a volume decomposition based on a recursive descent into the part, yielding a feature graph that captured both the geometry and the spatial relationships of the features. This work augments the previous algorithm with the ability to handle a limited class of components having freeform surfaces. Freeform features are defined similar to the 2.5D features as comprising a planar contour, but substituting a bottom freeform surface for the depth. Covering faces, defined as projection of the freeform surface on the faces of the bounding box of the surface, are used as equivalent planar faces for performing the recursive descent. Inter-feature open edges are used to signal the relationship between the freeform feature and other neighboring features. Examples of molds and components that were machined using the proposed algorithms are also presented.
