Application and Research of the Design Process of Concept A-Surface

Abstract:

This paper narrates the basic principle of the computer aided design for car styling and analyzes the current status of building the high-quality surfaces in the computer aided design for car styling and “the basic process model of digital car styling” .to build “the sbasic process model based on CAS digital modeling. It points out the research content and method of the car digital model and provides theoretical basis for the research of the car styling digital model. In the conventional early design of car styling, generally the revision of design schemes consumes much time and energies. Revisions have been continuously made from the initial creative idea to the later clay model before entering into the engineering design. With the rapid development of the computer technology, the digital technology has become the leading one for the car styling development. During the design process, the digital design of car styling has evolved from the rendering into the engineering design. In order to convey the styling idea that expresses in the design sketch in a rapid and accurate way, it requires a clear expression system and based on the system, the digital model is made. Otherwise, even the good modeling technology and the high-quality surfaces become useless without clearly expressing the idea. The computer aided design for car styling is advanced, but there still exist many problems. The paper aims to put forward a rapidly modeling method of high quality car surfaces based on digital modeling and explore its feasibility during the actual application, by analyzing the current status of building the high-quality surfaces in the computer aided design for car styling and the basic process of the computer aided design for car styling and discussing problems existed during the expression of the design, as well as combining other methods of the computer aided design in other fields.
