Presentation Transcript

  1. Three-Dimensional Modeling

  2. Types of Models • Wireframe • Surface • Primitive • Solids

  3. Wireframe Models

  4. Wireframes do not make good models The same edge and vertex list can describe different objects depending on how they are interpreted.

  5. Surface Model • Wireframe with a cover • Hollow • Only benefit: visualization

  6. Primitives • Three-Dimensional Geometric Figures are combined to form a model

  7. Common Geometric Primitives

  8. Boolean Operations

  9. Solids Modeling • Mechanical Engineering Applications • Begin with a “Solid” piece of material • Manufacture of Prototypes • Design to Manufacture • Recently Available • AutoDesk and GeoPak are developing Civil Engineering Applications

  10. Solids Modeling Example: Science Fair Rotor was drawn using ProEngineer Rotor drawing was downloaded to the CNC machine which then produced the part.

  11. Solids Modeling Example: Science Fair Completed Rotor Generator

  12. Methods of constructing models • Coordinates • Extrusion • Primitives

  13. Coordinate Method

  14. Coordinate Method (continued)

  15. Combination of Methods

  16. MicroStation Wireframe

  17. Solids Modeling Parametric Specification of a Cylinder

  18. Solids Modeling Software
