  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Implementation and Evaluation of Kinematic Mechanism Modeling Based on ISO 10303 STEP
    Implementation and evaluation of kinematic mechanism modeling based on ISO 10303 STEP Yujiang Li Master Thesis Royal Institute of Technology School of Industrial Engineering and Management Department of Production Engineering Stockholm, Sweden 2011 © Yujiang Li, March 2011 Department of Production Engineering Royal Institute of Technology SE-100 44 Stockholm Stockholm 2011 Abstract The kinematic mechanism model is an important part of the representation of e.g. machine tools, robots and fixtures. The basics of kinematic mechanism modeling in classic CAD are about to define motion constraints for components relative other components. This technique for kinematic modeling is common for the majority of CAD applications, but the exchange of kinematic mechanism between different CAD applications have been very limited. The ISO 10303 STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product data) addresses this problem with the application protocol ISO 10303-214 (AP214) which provides an information model for integration of the kinematics with 3D geometry. Several research projects have tried to, as subtasks, implement the kinematic functionality of AP214. But until recently no one have been able to create a valid dataset to prove the standard’s applicability. In this research, a framework for integration of the STEP-based kinematic mechanism modeling with existing commercial CAx systems is presented. To evaluate how well the framework is able to be applied for industrial practices, two applications are developed to demonstrate the major outputs of this research. A pilot standalone application, KIBOS (kinematic modeling based on STEP), is developed to prove the feasibility for Java-based STEP implementation on kinematics and to provide comprehensive operation logic to manipulate the kinematic features in STEP models based on ISO/TS 10303-27 Java binding to the standard data access interface (SDAI).

  • Chapter 18 Solidworks
    Chapter 18 SolidWorks As much as any company in the CAD industry, SolidWorks was inspired by the vision of a single individual, Jon Hirschtick. He received both a BS and an MS degree in mechanical engineering from MIT in 1983 and subsequently worked at the MIT CAD Laboratory under Dr. David Gossard. Hirschtick had a strong entrepreneurial streak in him from an early age including a period as a self-employed magician during high school. While working at the CAD Laboratory, he enrolled in an entrepreneurship class in 1987 where he teamed up with Axel Bichara to write a business plan for a new CAD software company they called Premise. Bichara was a graduate student from Germany who was also working at the CAD Laboratory at the time.1 The class business plan for Premise was submitted in mid-May, 1987 and in a little over a month the two founders had $1.5 million in venture funding from Harvard Management Company. It was no surprise that the company set up shop in Cambridge. Figure 18.1 Jon Hirschtick2 Premise’s initial software product, DesignView, was a two-dimension conceptual design tool that ran on IBM-compatible PCs and interfaced with Microsoft software packages such as Word and Excel. Users could sketch geometry, assign constraints and define dimensional relationships. If a dimension changed, the design would adapt to this new information. Since it could be interfaced to Excel, spreadsheets could be used to 1 Bygrave, William D. and D’Heilly, Dan – editors, The Portable MBA in Entrepreneurship Case Studies, Pg.
