TPC Components AB - Cad/Cam TPC operates a modern CAD system called IronCAD. The following table provides guidelines for choosing formats to exchange 3D model data between IronCAD and other specific CAD software. Note that the recommended format is dependent on the type of application and whether the data is being imported or exported. Product Import into IronCAD Export from IronCAD SolidDesigner Acis – Vers 14,0 (* SAT) Acis – Vers 14,0 (* SAT) Autocad / MD Acis – Vers 14,0 (* SAT) Acis – Vers 14,0 (* SAT) Inventor Acis – Vers 14,0 (* SAT) Acis – Vers 14,0 (* SAT) Solid Works Parasolid – Vers 16 (X_T) Parasolid – Vers 16 (X_T) Uni Graphics Parasolid – Vers 16 (X_T) Parasolid – Vers 16 (X_T) SDRC Ideas/Artisian Parasolid – Vers 16 (X_T) Parasolid – Vers 16 (X_T) Pro/Engineer Step AP203 or AP214 (iges) Step Cadkey Acis – Vers 14,0 (* SAT) Acis – Vers 14,0 (* SAT) Catia V4 . Model . Model Catia V5 Step (AP203) Step IronCAD operates to the highest level of precision 0.000001. This is because it incorporates the industry standard ACIS solid modelling kernel and Parasolid kernel. —The advantage of this degree of precision is that you can be sure that your customers will be able to read your solid models without difficulty, whether you transfer the data by SAT, IGES or STEP —This is a key requirement for companies who need to send their designs to customers for integration into their products or need to send their designs to subcontractors for manufacture. —Other CAD systems operate at lower levels of solid modelling precision and it can be difficult to read files containing solids from such systems. Please note that: In the case of Pro/Engineer it is necessary to reset two parameters. The first one is ACCURACY LOWER BOUND which must be reset to 0.000001 through Misc. - Load Config. This affects the accuracy of the system. Then the part must be read in and through Setup - Accuracy changed to 0.000001. The part must then be regenerated and can be output through STEP or IGES. IGES always refers to ”trimmed surface” IGES files (version 4.0 or above) If you are having trouble with IGES Import/Export, try using ”trimmed surface, nurbs only” IGES files. STEP always refers to STEP AP203 files When the ACIS version is not specified, any of the following 1.7; 2.0; 2.1; 3.0; 4.0; 7.0 up to 14.0 is acceptable. IronCAD can import the following 3D DXF (.dxf) entities: < 3DFACE - 3 or 4 point polygones < POLYLINE - Type 64 - polyface mesh, in a grid < POLYLINE - Type 128 without Type 64 - polygon mesh TPC COMPONENTS AB Box 517, SE-734 27 Hallstahammar, Sweden.

CAD for VEX Robotics
CAD for VEX Robotics (updated 7/23/20) The question of CAD comes up from time to time, so here is some information and sources you can use to help you and your students get started with CAD. “COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN” OR “COMPUTER AIDED DOCUMENTATION”? First off, the nature of VEX in general, is a highly versatile prototyping system, and this leads to “tinkerbots” (for good or bad, how many robots are truly planned out down to the specific parts prior to building?). The team that actually uses CAD for design (that is, CAD is done before building), will usually be an advanced high school team, juniors or seniors (and VEX-U teams, of course), and they will still likely use CAD only for preliminary design, then future mods and improvements will be tinkered onto the original design. The exception is 3d printed parts (U-teams only, for now) which obviously have to be designed in CAD. I will say that I’m seeing an encouraging trend that more students are looking to CAD design than in the past. One thing that has helped is that computers don’t need to be so powerful and expensive to run some of the newer CAD software…especially OnShape. Here’s some reality: most VEX people look at CAD to document their design and create neat looking renderings of their robots. If you don't have the time to learn CAD, I suggest taking pictures. Seriously though, CAD stands for Computer Aided Design, not Computer Aided Documentation. It takes time to learn, which is why community colleges have 2-year degrees in CAD, or you can take weeks of training (paid for by your employer, of course).

A New Era for Mechanical CAD Time to Move Forward from Decades-Old Design JESSIE FRAZELLE
TEXT COMMIT TO 1 OF 12 memory ONLY A New Era for Mechanical CAD Time to move forward from decades-old design JESSIE FRAZELLE omputer-aided design (CAD) has been around since the 1950s. The first graphical CAD program, called Sketchpad, came out of MIT [designworldonline. com]. Since then, CAD has become essential to designing and manufacturing hardware Cproducts. Today, there are multiple types of CAD. This column focuses on mechanical CAD, used for mechanical engineering. Digging into the history of computer graphics reveals some interesting connections between the most ambitious and notorious engineers. Ivan Sutherland, who won the Turing Award for Sketchpad in 1988, had Edwin Catmull as a student. Catmull and Pat Hanrahan won the Turing award for their contributions to computer graphics in 2019. This included their work at Pixar building RenderMan [pixar. com], which was licensed to other filmmakers. This led to innovations in hardware, software, and GPUs. Without these innovators, there would be no mechanical CAD, nor would animated films be as sophisticated as they are today. There wouldn’t even be GPUs. Modeling geometries has evolved greatly over time. Solids were first modeled as wireframes by representing the object by its edges, line curves, and vertices. This evolved into surface representation using faces, surfaces, edges, and vertices. Surface representation is valuable in robot path planning as well. Wireframe and surface acmqueue |march-april 2021 5 COMMIT TO 2 OF 12 memory I representation contains only geometrical data. Today, modeling includes topological information to describe how the object is bounded and connected, and to describe its neighborhood.

19 Siemens PLM Software
Chapter 19 Siemens PLM Software (Unigraphics)1 Author’s note: As discussed below, this organization has had a multitude of different names over the years. Many still refer to it simply as UGS and, although that name is no longer formally used, I have used it throughout this chapter. McDonnell Douglas Automation In order to understand how today’s Siemens PLM Software organization and the Unigraphics software evolved one has to go back to an organization in Saint Louis, Missouri called McAuto (McDonnell Automation Company), a subsidiary of the McDonnell Aircraft Corporation. The aircraft industry was one of the first users of computer systems for engineering design and analysis and McDonnell was very proactive in this endeavor starting in the late 1950s. Its first NC production part was manufactured in 1958 and computers were used to help layout aircraft the following year. In 1960 McDonnell decided to utilize this experience and enter the computer services business. Its McAuto subsidiary was established that year with 258 employees and $7 million in computer hardware. Fifteen years later, McAuto had become one of the largest computer services organizations in the world with over 3,500 employees and a computer infrastructure worth over $170 million. It continued to grow for the next decade, reaching over $1 billion in revenue and 14,000 employees by 1985. Its largest single customer during of this period was the military aircraft design group of its own parent company. A significant project during the 1960s and 1970s was the development of an in- house CAD/CAM system to support McDonnell engineering.

Development of a Coupling Approach for Multi-Physics Analyses of Fusion Reactors
Development of a coupling approach for multi-physics analyses of fusion reactors Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Ingenieurwissenschaften (Dr.-Ing.) bei der Fakultat¨ fur¨ Maschinenbau des Karlsruher Instituts fur¨ Technologie (KIT) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Yuefeng Qiu Datum der mundlichen¨ Prufung:¨ 12. 05. 2016 Referent: Prof. Dr. Stieglitz Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Moslang¨ This document is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution – Share Alike 3.0 DE License (CC BY-SA 3.0 DE): http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/ Abstract Fusion reactors are complex systems which are built of many complex components and sub-systems with irregular geometries. Their design involves many interdependent multi- physics problems which require coupled neutronic, thermal hydraulic (TH) and structural mechanical (SM) analyses. In this work, an integrated system has been developed to achieve coupled multi-physics analyses of complex fusion reactor systems. An advanced Monte Carlo (MC) modeling approach has been first developed for converting complex models to MC models with hybrid constructive solid and unstructured mesh geometries. A Tessellation-Tetrahedralization approach has been proposed for generating accurate and efficient unstructured meshes for describing MC models. For coupled multi-physics analyses, a high-fidelity coupling approach has been developed for the physical conservative data mapping from MC meshes to TH and SM meshes. Interfaces have been implemented for the MC codes MCNP5/6, TRIPOLI-4 and Geant4, the CFD codes CFX and Fluent, and the FE analysis platform ANSYS Workbench. Furthermore, these approaches have been implemented and integrated into the SALOME simulation platform. Therefore, a coupling system has been developed, which covers the entire analysis cycle of CAD design, neutronic, TH and SM analyses.
