This paper is dedicated to the issues of designing of outriggers for avoidance of vehicle tilting during its stability tests. An analysis of existing types of outriggers was done by authors as well as legislative requirements on them. The reliable and well-timed operation of outriggers largely depends on the height of their positioning on a vehicle. In order to determine this important parameter a special methodic of determining the tipping angle of the vehicle with the use of computer-aided design (CAD) was composed by authors. The article also contains some main principles of strength analysis of the structure a very important part of which became the necessity of determination of coefficient of friction between the outrigger sliders and the supporting surface. This coefficient has a direct impact on the value of transverse forces appearing at the ends of outrigger beams.

The determination of workspace is an essential step in the development of parallel manipulators. By extending the virtual-chain (VC) approach to the type synthesis of parallel manipulators, this technical brief proposes a VC approach to the workspace analysis of parallel manipulators. This method is first outlined before being illustrated by the production of a three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided-design (CAD) model of a 3-RPS parallel manipulator and evaluating it for the workspace of the manipulator. Here, R, P and S denote revolute, prismatic and spherical joints respectively. The VC represents the motion capability of moving platform of a manipulator and is shown to be very useful in the production of a graphical representation of the workspace. Using this approach, the link interferences and certain transmission indices can be easily taken into consideration in determining the workspace of a parallel manipulator.

With the growth of information technologies in the field of construction industry, the concept of CAD (Computer Aided Design), which denotes just design operations using a computer acquires a new meaning and changes the contents lightening design process based on product modelling and further numerical simulation construction process and facility managing. New definitions as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) are more and more usable as the definition of a new way approaching the design and documentation managing of building projects. The presented computer aided design technology based on the concept of graphical ‐ information modeling of a building, is combined with resource demand calculations, comparison of alternatives and determination of duration of all the stages of investment project life. The software based on this combined 4D PLM model is to be created as a means to manage effectively the investment project, starting from planning, designing, economical calculations, construction and afterwards to manage the finished building and to utilize it.

Two-dimensional curves are represented by a list of vertices and other parameters that control the shape or curvature of the segments. In computer programming to deal with closed two-dimensional curves, it is often required to know the direction of the curve, which is reflected by the sequence of the vertex data. It can be anticlockwise or clockwise. This paper presents a robust, linear algorithm to determine the direction of a closed two-dimensional curve, by computing the total angular change of a tangent vector travelling along the curve for a complete cycle. A new, robust linear algorithm is proposed for the determination of the positional relationship of a point to a two-dimensional curve. For curves that consist of line and arc segments, which are most commonly used in engineering applications in computer aided design, the paper presents algorithms and procedures for solving the above problems.

This article reviews computer-aided design (CAD) software that is meant to function as more than a drawing tool; design offices and general contractors are still learning how to take advantage of its full potential even as the software systems mature. CAD systems are used to sell products before they are produced, to warehouse past designs in a central library, and to describe an intended design to a parts supplier. Traditional wisdom holds that 2D CAD systems are best suited to products with simple geometries that can be easily represented without considerable interpretive errors, products such as the nozzles. Often, 2D drawings can be ambiguous and are open to errors in interpretation, especially in cases of complex designs, according to the Queensland Manufacturing Institute (QMI) report. Century Tool wanted to use the 3D CAD software to check for interferences in the design of a part a customer had charged Century Tool with building.

The automated process chain of an unmanned production system is a distinct challenge in the technical state of the art. In particular, accurate and fast raw-part recognition is a current problem in small-batch production. This publication proposes a method for automatic optical raw-part detection to generate a digital blank shadow, which is applied for adapted CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) planning. Thereby, a laser-triangulation sensor is integrated into the machine tool. For an automatic raw-part detection and a workpiece origin definition, a dedicated algorithm for creating a digital blank shadow is introduced. The algorithm generates adaptive scan paths, merges laser lines and machine axis data, filters interference signals, and identifies part edges and surfaces according to a point cloud. Furthermore, a dedicated software system is introduced to investigate the created approach. This method is integrated into a CAD/CAM system, with customized software libraries for communication with the CNC (computer numerical control) machine. The results of this study show that the applied method can identify the positions, dimensions, and shapes of different raw parts autonomously, with deviations less than 1 mm, in 2.5 min. Moreover, the measurement and process data can be transferred without errors to different hardware and software systems. It was found that the proposed approach can be applied for rough raw-part detection, and in combination with a touch probe for accurate detection.

Novel Model

In the design step, the realistic modeling of the product represents an industrial requirement and a digital muck up (DMU) improvement. Thus, the tolerance integration in the computer aided design (CAD) model with the neglect of important physical factors, such as the components’ deformations during the mounting and assembly operation, causes a deviation between the numerical and the realistic models. In this regard, this paper presents a new model for the tolerance analysis of CAD assemblies based on the consideration of both manufacturing defects and deformations. The dimensional and geometrical tolerances are considered by the determination of assemblies’ configurations with defects based on the worst case tolerancing. The finite elements (FEs) simulation is realized with realistic models. An algorithm for updating the realistic mating constraints, between rigid and nonrigid parts, is developed. The case study of an assembly with planar and cylindrical joints is presented.

The University

A founding member of the Computer-Aided Design Group at the University of Cambridge, UK, and a student and collaborator of CAD pioneer Steven A. Coons at MIT, Robin Forrest occupies an important place in the history of computational design. Along with important contributions to the mathematics of shape representation, his coining of the term ‘computational geometry’ in 1971 offered a handle on design techniques that started to emerge – somewhat uncomfortably at first – in the interstices of engineering, mathematics, and the fledgling field of computer science. Initially fostered by governmentsponsored research into Computer-Aided Design for aircraft and car manufacturing, the methods he helped develop have since been encoded in countless commercial software systems for 3D modelling and simulation, helping structure the intellectual work – and the professional identity – of architects, engineers, and other practitioners of design.
