Corn-Seed Modeling and Simulation Analysis Based on Shape Features

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the shape features of corn seed, this paper proposes the modeling method of manual combination of eight spheres, which constructs the analysis models for corn seed Ji Feng 218 and Chang Dan 228 with the purpose of better simulation of corn seeds. Furthermore, another analysis model for Chang Dan 228 is also built with reference to the four-sphere combination method. The comparison between the simulation results from these two models demonstrates the feasibility and superiority of the model of combination of eight spheres.
