  • Adoption of Model-Based Definition
    Adoption of Model-Based Definition Andreas Rannanpää Bachelor thesis for Mechanical engineering Vaasa 2020 BACHELOR’S THESIS Author: Andreas Rannanpää Degree Program: Mechanical and Production Engineering Specialization: Operating and Energy Technology Supervisors: Kaj Rintanen, Kari Hautala Title: Adoption of Model-Based Definition _________________________________________________________________________ Date 2.4.2020 Number of pages 25 _________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The purpose of this study is to clarify what MBD is and what it means to the Finnish industry. This study shows the reader how to reach MBE Level step by step. The purpose of this study is also testing the creation and the visualization of PMI. The theory chapter describes what the terms PMI, MBD, and MBE are and how they are related to one another. The theory describes the usefulness and the risks of using MBD. The theory also includes the file format, the CAD program and the visualization program. The method of this study is an exploratory case study. The result includes a process scheme of how MBE can be adopted. It explains step by step where to start and how to proceed. The process scheme proceeds from 2D drawing to MBE level. The result also shows how the PMI data can be created in NX11. It shows an easy version of the 3D model, including PMI data, which may be displayed on a laptop or a mobile device. In the discussion the result is analyzed. Issues and notifications are presented on how the PMI was issued and how it is displayed. The negative and the positive aspects about adapting the model is analyzed.

  • 3D Shape Engineering and Design Parameterization
    681 3D Shape Engineering and Design Parameterization Kuang-Hua Chang1 and Chienchih Chen2 1University of Oklahoma, [email protected] 2University of Oklahoma, [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper presents a brief review and technical advancement on 3D shape engineering and design parameterization in reverse engineering, in which discrete point clouds are converted into feature-based parametric solid models. Numerous efforts have been devoted to developing technology that automatically creates NURBS surface models from point clouds. Only very recently, the development was extended to support parametric solid modeling that allows significant expansion on the scope of engineering assignments. In this paper, underlying technology that enables such advancement in 3D shape engineering and design parameterization is presented. Software that offers such capabilities is evaluated using practical examples. Observations are presented to conclude this study. Keywords: reverse engineering, design parameterization, auto-surfacing. DOI: 10.3722/cadaps.2011.681-692 1 INTRODUCTION 3D scanning technology has made enormous progress in the past 25 years [1]; especially, the non- contact optical surface digitizers. These scanners or digitizers become more portable, affordable; and yet capturing points faster and more accurately. A hand-held laser scanner captures tens of thousands points per second with a level of accuracy around 40 m, and can cost as low as fifty thousand dollars, such as a ZScanner 800 [2]. Such technical advancement makes the scanners become largely accepted and widely used in industry and academia for a broad range of engineering assignments. As a result, demand on geometric modeling technology and software tools that support efficiently processing large amount of data points and converting them into useful forms, such as NURBS (non-uniform rational B- spline) surfaces, become increasingly higher.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Transmagic Ships R12 – Enhanced
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TransMagic Ships R12 – Enhanced MBD Utilization from CATIA, NX, JT & PRO/E New PMI View Browser and Tech Docs Features to Displace Tedious Manual Processes June 22, 2016, Westminster, CO – TransMagic, Inc., a leader in CAD data translation, geometry repair and model validation announced the new generation of 3D CAD productivity solutions, now available in Release 12. The focal point of the release is the easy handling of complex annotations in any 3D format for Model Based Definition (MBD) and Product Manufacturing Information (PMI). The new capabilities can save time and prevent errors in manufacturing and quality checking. The advancements in R12 were achieved in part through collaboration with major aerospace and automotive customers to streamline a broad range of detailed manual processes that rely on access to design annotations and instructions to increase productivity. Also in the Release, TransMagic has updated CAD version support for all major formats, added new lightweight formats that simplify design communication with customers and suppliers, and updated support for hybrid CATIA files. New additions to the product include technical document publishing in 3D PDF, multiple new rendering modes, and language support. Enhanced Model Based Definition (MBD) Usability TransMagic has expanded PMI (Product Manufacturing Information) and MBD capabilities to support annotated section views. All annotated views are indexed for rapid access in the new PMI View Browser. These views make it easy to find specific callouts. The PMI views can be saved out to 3D PDF or MS Excel formats with a single click and used to streamline quality control and shop floor operations that rely on precise tolerances and work instructions.
