Application of OpenGL in NC Turning Simulation

Abstract:

This paper introduces the modular structure of NC turning simulation system and the characters of OpenGL. OpenGL is the standard interface of three-dimensional graphic software, and its main functions include modeling, transformation, mode setting of color, light and material setting, texture mapping, double buffer animation, etc. The application of OpenGL in development for NC turning simulation system is described, at the same time, its effect on three aspects of solid modeling, realistic effect and animation demonstration is specially illustrated. Simulation results prove that the NC turning simulation system based on OpenGL runs reliably, and can effectively simulate the machining process in real time.
