(E) Distance de when the point (other than the start point and the end point) on the driver side element moves and interferes with the end point on the stopper side element. For example, as shown in FIG. 4C, when the moving distance direction 2 of the driver 1 is at an angle t with respect to the axis 3, the angle t passing through the end point 4 of the stopper is t.
The intersection 6 between the straight line 5 and the driver 1 is determined, and the distance between the stopper end point 4 and the intersection 6 is de. When there are a plurality of intersections, the point closest to the end point 4 is the intersection 6.

For all combinations of the interference target elements on both the driver side and the stopper side (a) to
Calculate the interference distance in all cases of (c). However,
In some of (a) to (c), the interference distance cannot be obtained. The minimum distance of all the calculated interference distances is taken as the movement amount of the interference translation operation.

Next, the interference calculation method in the interference rotation step 9 will be described. The interference angles when the driver 1 element and the stopper 1 element interfere with each other are as follows (a) to
It is the minimum angle of the angles of (e). (A) The starting point of the element on the driver side rotates,
Angle da when it interferes on the element on the stopper side (other than the start point and the end point). For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, the starting point 2 of the driver 1 is determined from the starting point 2 of the driver 1 by finding the intersection 6 of the circle 4 and the stopper 5 of the trajectory drawn around the rotation center 3 of the driver 1. The angle up to the intersection 6 around the rotation direction is da. If there are multiple intersections, the point with the smallest central angle around the rotation direction from the starting point 2 is the intersection 6
And (B) The end point of the element on the driver side rotates,
Angle db when it interferes with the element on the stopper side (other than the start point and the end point). For example, as shown in FIG. 5B, the end point 2 of the driver 1 is determined from the end point 2 of the driver 1 by finding the intersection 6 of the circle 4 and the stopper 5 of the trajectory drawn around the rotation center 3 of the driver 1. Let db be the angle up to the intersection point 6 around the rotation direction. When there are multiple intersections, the point with the smallest central angle around the rotation direction from the end point 2 is the intersection point 6
And (C) An angle dc when a point (other than the start point and the end point) on the driver side element rotates and interferes with the element on the stopper side (other than the start point and the end point). For example, in FIG.
As shown in (c), when both elements on the driver side and the stopper side are arcs or circles, the radius from the center 2 of the arc of the stopper 1 is the radius r of the arc of the stopper 1.
1 and the circle 4 of the sum r1 + r2 of the radius r2 of the circular arc of the driver 3 and the circle 6 of the locus drawn by the center 5 of the circular arc with the center of rotation of the driver 3 as the center of intersection 7 are obtained, and from the circular center 5 of the driver 3 The angle up to the intersection 7 around the designated rotation direction is dc. When there are a plurality of intersections, the point having the smallest central angle around the rotation direction from the center 5 is defined as the intersection 7. (D) An angle dd when a point on the element on the driver side (9 other than the start point and the end point rotates and interferes with the start point on the element on the stopper side, for example, 8a in FIG. 6). The intersection 6 between the driver 1 and the circle 5 passing through the starting point 4 of the stopper 3 around the rotation center 2 is determined, and the angle from the intersection 6 to the starting point 4 of the stopper 3 around the designated rotation direction is dd. When there are a plurality of intersections, the point having the smallest central angle from the start point 4 in the opposite direction to the rotation direction is set as the intersection point 6. (E) An angle de when a point (other than the start point and the end point) on the driver side element rotates and interferes with the end point on the stopper side element. For example, as shown in FIG. 6B, an intersection 6 between the driver 1 and a circle 5 passing through the end point 4 of the stopper 3 around the rotation center 2 of the driver 1 is obtained, and the rotation direction around the designated rotation direction is determined from the intersection 6. Then, the angle up to the end point 4 of the stopper is de. When there are a plurality of intersections, the point having the smallest central angle from the end point in the opposite direction to the rotation direction is defined as the intersection 6.

Regarding all combinations of the interference target elements on both the driver side and the stopper side (a) to
Calculate the interference angle in all cases of (e). However,
In some of (a) to (e), the interference angle cannot be obtained. The minimum angle of all the obtained interference angles is set as the rotation angle of the interference rotation operation.

Next, the interference calculation method in the interference translation step 15 along the element will be described. When the reference element is a line segment, the distance until the driver interferes with the stopper is obtained by the above-described interference translation calculation method.If the distance is longer than the length of the line segment, no interference occurs.If the distance is shorter than the length of the line segment Determines that they are interfering with each other. If the reference element is an arc, compare the length of the arc with the minimum distance of the following distances (a) to (e), and if the distance is longer than the length of the arc, do not interfere. If it is shorter than the length, it is determined that there is interference. For each reference element, repeat the calculation until the driver interferes with the stopper. (A) The starting point of the element on the driver side moves,
Distance da when it interferes with the element on the stopper side (other than the start point and the end point). For example, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the driver 1 moves along the reference element 2, the intersection 6 of the movement locus arc 4 of the starting point 3 of the driver 1 and the stopper 5 is obtained, and the movement locus arc 4 The distance from the starting point 3 of the driver 1 to the intersection 6 is da. (B) The end point of the element on the driver side moves,
Distance db when interfering with the element on the stopper side (other than the start point and end point). For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 19, when the driver 1 moves along the reference element 2, the intersection 6 of the movement locus arc 4 of the end point 3 of the driver 1 and the stopper 5 is obtained, and the movement locus arc 4 The distance from the start point 3 of the driver 1 to the intersection point 6 is db. (C) A moving distance dc when a point (other than the start point and the end point) on the driver side element moves and interferes with the start point of the stopper side element. For example, as shown in (c) of FIG. 19, when the driver side is a line segment, the driver 1
Element 3 when moving along the reference element 2
The intersection point 9 between the movement locus arc 5 of the starting point 4 and the start point 7 of the stopper 6 and the straight line 8 parallel to the element 3 of the driver 1 is obtained, and the distance from the starting point 4 of the driver 1 to the intersection point 9 in the movement locus arc 5 is obtained. Be dc. (D) Distance dd when a point (other than the start point and the end point) on the driver side element moves and interferes with the end point of the stopper side element. For example, as shown in (a) of FIG. 20, when the driver side is a line segment, the movement locus arc 5 of the starting point 4 of the element 3 and the end point 7 of the stopper 6 when the driver 1 moves along the reference element 2 are defined. The street
Intersection 9 with a straight line 8 parallel to the element 3 of the driver 1
The starting point 4 of the driver 1 on the arc 5 of the moving path.
The distance from to intersection 9 is dd. (E) A moving distance de when a point on the element on the driver side (other than the start point and the end point) moves and interferes with a point on the element on the stopper side (other than the start point and the end point). For example, as shown in (b) of FIG. 20, when the driver side is a line segment and the stopper side is an arc, the intersection point 6 of the straight line 4 and the reference element 5 that are parallel to the element of the driver 1 and are connected to the stopper 3 and the element 2 The intersection 7 of the reference element 5 is obtained, and the distance between the intersection 7 and the empty intersection 6 of the reference element 5 is de.

For all combinations of the interference target elements on both the driver side and the stopper side (a) to
Calculate the interference distance in all cases of (c). However,
In some of (a) to (c), the interference distance cannot be obtained. The minimum distance among all the obtained interference distances is taken as the movement amount of the interference translation.

Further, in the interference calculation in the operation simulation method, if the driver and the stopper interfere with each other before the calculation, the driver is placed so that it does not interfere with the stopper before the interference calculation is performed. . The details will be described below.

FIG. 14 illustrates the interference translation step 11 in detail, and shows the escape processing in the interference translation operation.

In the interference translation operation definition step 1, the interference translation operation is instructed. When the interference translation operation is instructed, in the interference determination step 2, it is determined whether or not the driver and the stopper interfere with each other, and it is determined based on the position information. If the driver and the stopper interfere with each other, the driver is relocated to a position where it does not interfere, so in step 3 the driver is repositioned so that it does not interfere with the stopper, and in step 4 of calculating the translational movement amount, the driver translates until it contacts the stopper. Calculate the amount of movement when doing. In step 5, the driver is operated and re-displayed based on the movement amount calculated in the interference translational operation amount calculation step 4, and the result is stored.

In the interference translation step 11, if the driver and the stopper interfere with each other before the calculation,
After moving the correction movement amount (ddis) in the opposite direction to the translation direction and repeatedly moving the driver within the range of the total correction movement amount (ddmax) to a position where the driver does not interfere with the stopper, the above-described calculation of the interference rotation is performed. . After the return movement (escape), the above-described calculation of the interference translation is performed.

If the proper arrangement cannot be performed within the total correction movement amount range, the correction movement amount interval is corrected and the correction movement is repeated again.

If the number of corrections of the correction movement amount exceeds the specified number (mmov) or the interval of the correction movement amount becomes equal to or smaller than the minimum correction amount (ddmin), the correction is impossible and the operation is not performed.

Ddis, ddmax, ddmin, mm
The ov can be set in the storage device 20 in advance using the input device 19, and does not need to be set each time the operation is performed. Also, ddis, ddmax, ddmin, mmov
If is not set, the standard value set by the system is set.

FIG. 15 explains the interference rotation step 13 in detail, and shows the escape processing in the interference rotation operation. This will be explained below.

In the interference rotation operation definition step 1, the interference rotation operation is instructed. When the interference rotation operation is instructed, it is determined in the interference determination step 2 whether the driver and the stopper interfere, and the driver and the stopper interfere. In this case, the driver is repositioned at a position where it does not interfere with the stopper by means of repositioning at a position where it does not interfere, and the interference rotation operation amount calculation step 4 calculates the rotation angle when the driver rotates until it contacts the stopper. Remember the result. Next, in the operation result display / registration step 5, the driver is rotated and re-displayed based on the rotation angle calculated in the interference rotation operation calculation step 4.

In the interference rotation step 13, if the driver and the stopper interfere with each other before the calculation,
The above-described calculation of interference rotation is performed after rotating the driver in the opposite direction of the rotation direction by each correction rotation (dthe) and repeatedly rotating the driver within the range of each total correction rotation (dtmax) to a position where it does not interfere with the stopper. .

When an appropriate arrangement cannot be performed with the total correction rotation angle, the correction rotation angle interval is corrected and the correction rotation is repeated.

The number of corrections of the correction movement amount is the number of times (mrot)
Is exceeded, or the correction rotation angle interval is the minimum correction angle (d
If it becomes less than tmin), it is determined that the correction is impossible and the operation is not performed.

Dthe, dtmax, dtmin, mr
ot can be preset in the storage device 20 using the input device 19, and does not need to be set every time the operation is performed. Also, dthe, dtmax, dtmin, mro
If t is not set, a standard value defined by the system is set.

By carrying out the above-mentioned processing, it is possible to carry out an operation simulation of a mechanism in which a cam, a link and the like are combined.

Up to now, the three-dimensional CA, which has been explained about the operation simulation in the two-dimensional CAD figure.
With respect to the D pattern, the operation simulation can be performed with the configuration of this embodiment.

The operation simulation for a three-dimensional CAD figure is different from the operation simulation for a two-dimensional CAD figure in that the coordinates and vectors are three-dimensional, and the rotation center is designated as the rotation axis. The types of elements that can be specified include surfaces and solids.

Next, the mechanism arrangement state processing device will be described. The mechanism arrangement state processing device can define, register, and restore the arrangement state (hereinafter referred to as status) of the mechanism at that time by assigning an identifier to the arrangement state of the part at any time.

The status information is composed of a part identifier and part arrangement information. When the menu STAT is specified in the shape data FIG. 7A, the status is switched to a menu for handling the status and a list of set statuses is displayed. It is displayed on the device 18. At this time, the status is defined by designating the menu STORE and inputting the status identifier. Menu LO
It is possible to return to the defined status by specifying AD and specifying the status identifier.

FIG. 13 shows an outline of the mechanism arrangement state processing method.

That is, in FIG. 13, reference numeral 1 designates the status processing method selecting step, and either the registration processing or the restoration processing is designated by using the input device 19 such as a mouse or a keyboard.

In the status processing method determination step 2,
In the central processing unit 17, the processing to be executed next is distributed according to the processing method designated in step 1. When the registration process is designated, the status registration process is executed. When the return processing is specified, the status return processing is executed.

In the status identifier input step 3, the status identifier to be registered is designated using the input device 19 such as a mouse or a keyboard.

In the status registration step 4, the current status information is registered in the storage device 20. The status information is composed of a part identifier and part placement information. Therefore, the information of each element forming the part is not registered in the storage device 20. This has the effect of reducing the amount of information to be stored.

In the restore status selection step 5, in the state where the identifier input in step 3 is displayed on the display device 18, the identifier of the status to be restored is designated by using the mouse or the keyboard / mouse of the input device.

In step 6 of reading the return status,
Information on the status to be restored is read from the storage device 20. At this time, since the amount of information to be read is reduced in step 4, the time required for the reading process can be shortened.

In the status display step 7, the information read in step 6 is displayed on the display device 18. Also in this process, as in the case of step 6, since the amount of information read in step 4 is reduced, there is an effect of speeding up the time required for the display process.
