A Feature-Based Approach to Automated Design of Multi-Piece Sacrificial Molds
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)This paper describes a feature-based algorithm for automated design of multi-piece sacrificial molds. Our mold design algorithm consists of the following three steps. First, the desired gross ... -
Prediction and Diagnosis of Propagated Errors in Assembly Systems Using Virtual Factories
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)Large-scale automated assembly systems are widely used in automotive, aerospace and consumer electronics industries to obtain high quality products in less time. However, one disadvantage of these ... -
An Approach to Capturing Structure, Behavior, and Function of Artifacts in Computer-Aided Design
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)This paper presents an approach to computer-aided design (CAD) that unites ideas from design with three-dimensional layouts and knowledge engineering. Our goal is to capture the structure, behavior, ... -
A Distributed Product Realization Environment for Design and Manufacturing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)Geographically distributed engineers must collaboratively develop, build and test solutions to design-manufacture problems to be competitive in the global marketplace. Engineers operate in a distributed ... -
Partial Entity Structure: A Compact Boundary Representation for Non-Manifold Geometric Modeling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)Non-manifold boundary representations have become very popular in recent years and various representation schemes have been proposed, as they represent a wider range of objects, for various ... -
Automatic Assembly Feature Recognition and Disassembly Sequence Generation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)This paper describes a system for the automatic recognition of assembly features and the generation of disassembly sequences. The paper starts by reviewing the nature and use of assembly features. ... -
Special Issue on Solid Modeling Applications in Design & Manufacturing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)The ACM/SIGGRAPH Symposia on Solid Modeling and Applications provide an international forum for the exchange of recent research and practical results in all areas and applications of solid ... -
Solid Model Databases: Techniques and Empirical Results
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)This paper presents techniques for managing solid models in relational database management systems. Our goal is to enable support for traditional database operations (sorting, distance metrics, ... -
Enforcing Model Validity by Automatic Adjustment
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)In current modeling systems, all dimensions in a model have to be fully specified by the user. It is desirable that systems become more flexible in this respect, i.e. that non-critical ... -
Dynamic Segmentation and Incremental Editing of Boundary Representations in a Collaborative Design Environment
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)Currently boundary representations (b-reps) are a convenient means to exchange solid models between applications (e.g., design, manufacturing, inspection) in a distributed/collaborative design ... -
Efficient Adaptive Meshing of Parametric Models
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)Parametric modeling is becoming the representation of choice for most modern solid modelers. However, when generating the finite-element mesh of the model for simulation and analysis, most meshing ... -
Use of Topological Constraints in Construction and Processing of Robust Solid Models
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)This paper introduces topological constraints to robustly and comprehensively process interference calculation in solid modeling and feature modeling, and describes a method of symbolic notation ... -
A Constraint Solving-Based Approach to Analyze 2D Geometric Problems With Interval Parameters
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)Many applications of geometric nature can be modeled by geometric problems defined by constraints in which the constraint parameters have interval uncertainty. In a previous work, we developed ... -
Finding Approximate Shape Regularities for Reverse Engineering
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)Current reverse engineering systems can generate boundary representation (B-rep) models from 3D range data. Such models suffer from inaccuracies caused by noise in the input data and algorithms. ... -
Multiresolution Curve Editing With Linear Constraints*
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2001)The use of multiresolution control toward the editing of freeform curves and surfaces has already been recognized as a valuable modeling tool [1–3]. Similarly, in contemporary computer aided ...
