3D Parametric Modeling for Complex Parts Generation

Abstract:

The complex parts, like block engine or inside panel door, represent a real challenge for 3D modeling with modern parametric 3D CAD systems if we intend to reuse the modeling for future modifications. The complexity of the part generates a large number of parameters and parametrical dependencies that is difficult to manage and even difficult to change for modifying the part, often, for big changes, making it easier to remodeling the part from the beginning. In this paper is presented a new method of parametric and hierarchical 3D modeling that allows easy future modifications of the part. This paper also presents the implementation of this new method in Catia V5 and the validation for a number of CAD models.
