Definitions
- the present disclosure is directed, in general, to computer-aided design, visualization, and manufacturing systems, product lifecycle management ("PLM”) systems, and similar systems, that manage data for products and other items (collectively, "Product Data Management” systems or PDM systems).
- PLM product lifecycle management
- a method includes receiving a CAD model including at least a three-dimensional (3D) surface.
- the method includes receiving an edit of a first geodesic feature from a user and in response to the edit, performing a hierarchy-based update to the CAD model, including performing a corresponding edit to at least one other feature of the CAD model based on the edit to the first geodesic feature to produce an updated CAD model.
- the method includes storing the updated CAD model.
- Figure 1 illustrates a block diagram of a data processing system in which an embodiment can be implemented
- Figures 2A-10D illustrate geodesic features in accordance with disclosed embodiments.
- a geodesic curve is a curve that locally minimizes the distance between two points on any mathematically defined space, such as a curved manifold. Equivalently, it is a path of minimal curvature. In noncurved three- dimensional space, the geodesic is a straight line.
- CAD users desired the ability to draw geodesic curves (point, line, arc, offset), modify them (trim, extend, fillet, chamfer), and the edit of their original definitions on a set of curved surfaces. Disclosed embodiments enable such processes, and support a large number of curves and maintain the original relations between them without creating as many individual features.
- CAD modeling using processes described herein provides fast and convenient editing of geodesic curves.
- audio adapter 124 Also connected to I/O bus 1 16 in the example shown is audio adapter 124, to which speakers (not shown) may be connected for playing sounds.
- Keyboard/mouse adapter 1 18 provides a connection for a pointing device (not shown), such as a mouse, trackball, trackpointer, touchscreen, etc.
- pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, trackpointer, touchscreen, etc.
- a data processing system in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an operating system employing a graphical user interface.
- the operating system permits multiple display windows to be presented in the graphical user interface simultaneously, with each display window providing an interface to a different application or to a different instance of the same application.
- a cursor in the graphical user interface may be manipulated by a user through the pointing device. The position of the cursor may be changed and/or an event, such as clicking a mouse button, generated to actuate a desired response.
- One of various commercial operating systems such as a version of Microsoft WindowsTM, a product of Microsoft Corporation located in Redmond, Wash, may be employed if suitably modified.
- the operating system is modified or created in accordance with the present disclosure as described.
- LAN/ WAN/Wireless adapter 112 can be connected to a network 130 (not a part of data processing system 100), which can be any public or private data processing system network or combination of networks, as known to those of skill in the art, including the Internet.
- Data processing system 100 can communicate over network 130 with server system 140, which is also not part of data processing system 100, but can be implemented, for example, as a separate data processing system 100.
- Figures 2 A- IOC illustrate geodesic features in accordance with disclosed embodiments.
- the illustrated CAD models are sets of connected surfaces, and the techniques described herein are used for geodesic sketching of features including those described below.
- Figs. 2A and 2B illustrate geodesic lines 202 on a CAD model 200.
- Geodesic line 202 follows the standard minimum distance on surface definition of CAD model 200. In Fig. 2A, geodesic line 202 follows from two points. In Fig. 2B, geodesic line 202 follows from a point and a distance along a direction.
- Fig. 4 illustrates a projection curve 402 on the surface of a CAD model 400.
- the curve network 404 is projected onto the surface of the CAD model 400, producing a corresponding geodesic projection curve network 402.
- Figs. 5 A and 5B illustrate intersection curves on a CAD model.
- the intersection of object 504 with CAD model 500 produces geodesic intersection curve 502.
- the intersection of object 514 with CAD model 510 produces geodesic intersection curves 512.
- Figs. 8 A and 8B illustrate geodesic dimensions on a CAD model.
- point 802 on CAD model 800 is offset from the vertical line by a geodesic dimension 804. The dimension is measured by the geodesic distance between the point and the line.
- point 812 on CAD model 810 is offset from the horizontal line by a geodesic dimension 814.
- Figs. 9 A and 9B illustrate trimming geodesic curves on a CAD model.
- Fig. 9A illustrates intersecting geodesic curves 902 and 904 on the surface of CAD model 900.
- Fig. 9B illustrates these curves after they have been trimmed at the intersection.
- Fig. 10A-10D illustrate geodesic fillets and chamfers, as described in the flowchart of Fig. 12, below.
- Fig. 10A illustrates intersecting curves 1002 and 1004 on the surface of CAD model 1000.
- Fig. 10B illustrates offset curves 1012 and 1014, intersection point 1008, geodesic lines 1022 and 1024, and end points 1026 and 1028.
- Disclosed embodiments fully interact with curved surfaces. Once the parent surface is updated, all the curves can update based on new surface geometry and their relative relations differently. Disclosed embodiments manage this complex update collectively.
- Disclosed embodiments address these issues using hierarchy-based update.
- the system first assigns an update level to each object type.
- Level 4 objects refer to geodesic primitive curves, including lines, arcs, and circles. A defining point of a line or arc connects to a geodesic point.
- Level 5 objects refer to geodesic corner curves, including fillets and chamfers.
- a geodesic corner curve references two curves in the lower levels so the corner will update after them. However, the corner curve can combine the trim operation of the next level together as a single feature object. The trim acts on the lower level curve at the end point of the corner curve.
- Level 6 objects refer to geodesic curve extents, such as operations to trim or extend geodesic curves.
- the system can trim or extend a curve or geodesic curve to each other or to edges of surface set, or to an external datum plane. It can happen multiple times on an original curve. Each time, the system defines two new extent points representing the start and end positions of the modified curve. Only the final extent points are meaningful thus only one feature per curve is needed that will update at last.
- the level hierarchy above is defined based on a general industry workflow, but can be modified based on the difference of workflows.
- the level 2 curve may be moved to be after the level 4 geodesic primitive curve in various implementations within the scope of the disclosure.
- Figure 11 depicts a flowchart of a process in accordance with disclosed embodiments that may be performed, for example, by one or more CAD systems as disclosed herein, referred to generically as the "system” below.
- the system receives a CAD model including at least a three-dimensional (3D) surface (1105).
- the 3D surface can be comprised of sets of connected surfaces.
- Receiving as used herein, can include loading from storage, receiving from another device or process, receiving via an interaction with a user, and otherwise.
- the 3D CAD model can include the level 0 objects described above.
- the system receives an edit of a first geodesic feature from a user (1110).
- the edit can be the addition of a geodesic feature to the CAD model, the removal of a geodesic feature from the CAD model, a movement of a geodesic feature in the CAD model, or other change to a geodesic feature in the CAD model, such as changes to dimensions, constraints, or otherwise.
- a process as described below can be used.
- the system performs a hierarchy-based update to the CAD model, including performing a corresponding edit to at least one other feature of the CAD model based on the edit to the first geodesic feature to produce an updated CAD model (1 1 15).
- the hierarchy -based update includes successively updating other features of the CAD model, based on the edit to the first geodesic feature, from the lowest-level objects to the highest-level objects.
- the system stores the updated CAD model (1 120).
- Figure 12 depicts a flowchart of a process in accordance with disclosed embodiments that may be performed, for example, by one or more CAD systems as disclosed herein, referred to generically as the "system” below, to add a geodesic fillet or chamfer.
- system CAD systems as disclosed herein, referred to generically as the "system” below.
- the process below is illustrated in Fig. 10A-10D, described above.
- the system calculates offset curves, corresponding to the two side curves, along the normal directions of the side curves respectively with a geodesic distance equal to the radius and determines the intersection point of the offset curves (1215).
- the system creates a geodesic arc with an intersection point as center, the two end points as limits, and the fillet radius as radius.
- the geodesic arc will be tangent to the two side curves. This process therefore determines the end points on the side curves without the expensive creation of the full geodesic circle and computation of its intersection with the side curves, giving a significant performance advantage.
- the system creates the geodesic chamfer by adding a geodesic line between the two end points.
- This system can then perform an update of the CAD model (1235), for example as described in steps 1 1 15-1 120 above.
- the dimension can be edited to a new value that will drive the point to a new position with the new value as geodesic distance to the curve set.
- machine usable/readable or computer usable/readable mediums include: nonvolatile, hard-coded type mediums such as read only memories (ROMs) or erasable, electrically programmable read only memories (EEPROMs), and user- recordable type mediums such as floppy disks, hard disk drives and compact disk read only memories (CD-ROMs) or digital versatile disks (DVDs).
- ROMs read only memories
- EEPROMs electrically programmable read only memories
- user- recordable type mediums such as floppy disks, hard disk drives and compact disk read only memories (CD-ROMs) or digital versatile disks (DVDs).
