In view of the reverse design of planar cam mechanism, the measurements of cam contour are smoothed by the discrete energy law in order to ensure the dynamic performance. The cam profile is fitted by three non-uniforms B-spline according to the features that cam contour is a closed curve and its measurements are distributed non-uniformly. Based on the above, the expressions of displacement, speed, and acceleration of the follower in form of polar radius of profile and its first and second derivative are derived. Finally, a reverse design example is given, the effectiveness of the method is verified.

The extruder is the key device to produce extrusion feed and food. Since different raw materialsi require different structural and technological parameters, the parametric design method must be used when an extruder is designed. The 3D (3-dimensional) software now available is just universal design platform, so the further development must be done based on universal software to realize the automatic design of machines for special purpose. In this paper the further development is carried out and the CAD (Computer Aided Design) system for the 3D parametric design of extruder is developed based on Solidworks. The system is developed with Visual C++, and it can be compatibly added in Solidworks as dynamic linkage library, which makes the modification of extruder more rapid and more correct. The paper introduces every function part in detail, including parameter input , design and calculation, 3D modeling of part, 3D modeling of assembly, engineering drawing. The realization of the automatic 3D modeling adopts the new idea of driven by dimension primarily and driven by program secondarily. The whole system is encapsulated in a menu of Solidworks. After some parameters, such as power and rotational speed, are imported through UI (User Interface), the system will automatically complete the design of extruder. Then 3D models and engineering drawings of parts or assembly can be exported according to the choice of user.

This paper proposes a design method for personalized 3D modeling and a rapid style recommendation of polo shirts based on interactive genetic algorithms. Through the research on the parametric multi-style design method of polo shirts, this paper proposes 3D design methods such as the conversion of 3D models, component splicing, and stripes matching mapping rules. In addition, we establish a coded component library of style parts and striped designs to realize the component modeling of tailor-made styles for polo shirts. Besides, the Interactive Genetic Algorithm (IGA) is introduced in the article. Through the algorithm coding, initial population generation, selection, using the scoring mechanism to obtain the user’s suitability evaluation of the program, crossover, and mutation, etc., gradually generating a user-satisfied polo shirt style model design plan, a personalized rapid style recommendation of the user-oriented polo shirt is established. This system can present tailored polo shirt style for customers, and WYSIWYG, to find the most favorite clothing styles for customers and lower the threshold of clothing design expertise.

Generating 3D path models (with textures) from indoor paths is a good way to improve the visualization performance of 3D indoor path analysis. In this paper, a quaternion-based piecewise 3D modeling method is proposed to automatically generate highly recognizable 3D models for indoor path networks. To create such models, indoor paths are classified into four types of basic elements: corridor, stairs, elevator and node, which contain six kinds of edges and seven kinds of nodes. A quaternion-based method is devised to calculate the coordinates of the designed elements, and a piecewise 3D modeling method is implemented to create the entire 3D indoor path models in a 3D GIS scene. The numerical comparison of 3D scene primitives in different visualization modes indicates that the proposed method can generate detailed and irredundant models for indoor path networks. The result of 3D path analysis shows that indoor path models can improve the visualization performance of a 3D indoor path network by displaying paths with different shapes, textures and colors and that the models can maintain a high rendering efficiency (above 50 frames per second) in a 3D GIS scene containing more than 50,000 polygons and triangles.

Objective. The objective of the study is to consider the application field of modern device development and design methods using the means of 3D modeling and simulation of physical processes. The validity of the application and criteria for the reliability of the results obtained in the sequential design of the mechanical part of the electric drive and the control system are investigated.Methods. Methods of model representation of 3D objects in computer-aided design systems are considered, as well as methods for solving problems of determining strain under the applied load. Using the example of an elementary joint, the obtained results of the dynamic characteristic of an elastic shaft in a computer-aided design system are compared with those calculated analytically.Results. The article defines the basic principles and relations applicable to describing the shape of 3D models. Methods are shown by which it is possible to obtain information about the mass-centering model characteristics. The relations that form the basis of numerical methods for solving problems of determining elastic deformations of bodies are also given. The error that can occur when using insufficiently small elementary volumes in solving the problem of determining elastic deformation is shown.Conclusion. The use of 3D modeling in the design of complex technical systems is justified and speeds up production processes. However, numerical methods cannot always give an accurate result leading to the need to either increase the complexity of calculations or additionally adjust some designed device parameters.

Abstract The required motion for a cam mechanism is often an under-defined problem. Usually only part of the motion cycle is specified, giving the designer freedom to generate the remaining motion to best suit the dynamic constraints. Often, it is the motion program that has the greatest effect on the dynamic performance of the cam mechanism. Formulating the motion program often involves iteratively specifying motion types, selecting follower types and selecting cam characteristics. Many software programs have been developed to synthesize the cam profile when the desired motion program and the cam mechanism characteristics have been supplied, and the cam profile synthesis techniques have been well established. However, such programs do not assist the designer in formulating the motion program. This paper presents a software system which assists the designer through the process of formulating the motion program. The program provides information to aid decision making in this under-defined problem. It also includes an analytical technique for automating the curve-matching required to formulate the motion program. The automation of these procedures allows the designer to readily explore alternatives and produce a superior design.

The problem of size optimization of a cam mechanism with a translating roller follower is analysed in this paper using non-linear programming techniques and a family of parametric polynomials for describing the motion curve. The present method can include many factors, such as the kinematic features, including the acceleration, the velocity, the boundary conditions and the symmetry of the motion curve, the curvature of the cam profile and the amount of offset of the follower, in the process of optimization and can provide many choices for meeting various design requirements. Examples are presented to illustrate the proposed design method.
