Along with the CAD technology being popularized, three-dimensional design of aircraft is ultimately realized into digital design. However, aircraft tolerances have not been designed by computer. They are mainly based on lots of manual calculations and not coordinated with integrated design and hold back the development of aircraft digital design and manufacture technologies. This paper introduces how to develop computer-aided aircraft tolerance analysis and distribution modules on UG and introduces Monte Carlo tolerance analysis technology. Running instances of aircraft tolerance design are illustrated in the paper.

Abstract An exact constraint scheme based on the physical contacting constraints of real part mating features is used to represent the process of assembling the parts. To provide useful probability information about how assembly dimensions are distributed when the parts are assembled as intended, the real world constraints that would prevent interference are ignored. This work addresses some limitations in the area of three dimensional assembly tolerance analysis. As a result of this work, the following were demonstrated: 1. Assembly of parts whose assembly mating features are subjected to variation; 2. Assemble parts using a real world set of exact constraints; 3. Provide probability distributions of assembly dimensions.

Background: To overcome disadvantages of the older surgical model, we invented a new three-dimensional (3D) correction surgery design after studying computer-aided 3D model analysis. Methods: Three-dimensional reconstruction was carried out for computed tomographic (CT) scans of patients with normal bilateral lower extremities; an anatomical model was established; and the normal values of 3D anatomic parameters of the lower-extremity joints were measured with computer assistance. An osteotomy procedure was simulated using a computer, appropriate osteotomy site, and osteotomy angle, and an osteotomy method was selected. Computer-assisted design (CAD) was used to produce an individualized auxiliary osteotomy template for guiding the osteotomy and an auxiliary correction template for guiding correction surgery. Finally, we accurately performed surgery according to the preoperative design. Results: All surgeries were performed successfully and postoperative x-ray films showed satisfactory deformity correction. Conclusions: Computer-aided lower-extremity joint correction surgery is more accurate and convenient than conventional surgery.

To establish a new three-dimensional (3D) digital design method for osteotomy and assess its application value in the surgical treatment of hemivertebrae. Preoperative 3D digital designs for osteotomy of the hemivertebrae were performed, which included computer simulation of the osteotomy and the internal fixation process, and computer-assisted design (CAD) of the templates for osteotomy of the hemivertebrae, pedicle screw positioning, and internal fixation rods. Template-guided osteotomy of the hemivertebrae plus pedicle screw and rod internal fixation were accurately implemented. The preoperative use of this new computer-aided 3D digitized and paperless surgical design can improve the safety, accuracy, and operative time for osteotomy in the treatment of hemivertebrae.

Tolerance analysis represents the best way to solve assembly problems in order to improve the quality and to reduce the costs. It is a critical step to design and to build a product such as an aircraft and its importance is grown up in the past years. This work presents a method for the tolerance analysis of an assembly involving free-form surfaces with large dimensions. The assembly is a tail beam, a structural component of an aircraft that is constituted by five parts of large dimensions. The influence of the tolerances applied to the five components of the tail beam on the value of the gap at the interfaces among the parts has been deeply investigated. A set of control points have been distributed on the free-form surfaces of the tail beam; its number and its distribution have been opportunely designed. Moreover, the influence of the tolerances on the other requirements of the tail beam connected with the motion drive has been studied. Tolerance analysis has involved the choice of the assembly tools and sequence too. The assembly jigs are mated with the assembly components through pins that are inserted into tooling holes located on the assembly components. The fit conditions have been modeled and the tolerances of the tooling hole have been opportunely chosen. Each tolerance of the tail beam components has been modeled by means of a probability density function. Monte Carlo approach has been used to obtain the statistical distribution of the assembly requirements, once dimensions and geometry of the tail beam components have been perturbed inside the tolerance ranges. Monte Carlo simulation has been carried out by a well-known computer-aided tolerance software, eM-Tolmate of UGS®.

Previously applied methods of designing aircraft based on two-dimensional geometric models that made it impossible to take into account all the necessary design and technological features. It was a prerequisite for the development of an integrated methodology that includes design and computer simulation of three-dimensional parametric design of the aircraft as a whole and its individual parts [2-5]. In this paper, the method of computer-aided design stringer at the master model geometry and space allocation wing aircraft.In article approaches to integrated computer-aided design. These types of problems preliminary design and the method of calculation of typical aircraft structural elements for example longitudinal force element sets as stringer. Also, the algorithm constructs a fully stringer system aided design of integrated Siemens NX. What can shorten the design time and use it as a reference for the calculation and further change just values for other dimensions stringers.Methods integrated design ensure the application of standard parametric analytical stringers in the calculation of aerodynamics and strength, life and vitality, weight of the aircraft and its alignment, safety of structures, as well as technological preparation of production and quality control, maintenance and repair.Considered aided design techniques can be extended to other than the stringers typical elements airframe.

Purpose The conventional statistical method of three-dimensional tolerance analysis requires numerous pseudo-random numbers and consumes enormous computations to increase the calculation accuracy, such as the Monte Carlo simulation. The purpose of this paper is to propose a novel method to overcome the problems. Design/methodology/approach With the combination of the quasi-Monte Carlo method and the unified Jacobian-torsor model, this paper proposes a three-dimensional tolerance analysis method based on edge sampling. By setting reasonable evaluation criteria, the sequence numbers representing relatively smaller deviations are excluded and the remaining numbers are selected and kept which represent deviations approximate to and still comply with the tolerance requirements. Findings The case study illustrates the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method in that it can reduce the sample size, diminish the computations, predict wider tolerance ranges and improve the accuracy of three-dimensional tolerance of precision assembly simultaneously. Research limitations/implications The proposed method may be applied only when the dimensional and geometric tolerances are interpreted in the three-dimensional tolerance representation model. Practical implications The proposed tolerance analysis method can evaluate the impact of manufacturing errors on the product structure quantitatively and provide a theoretical basis for structural design, process planning and manufacture inspection. Originality/value The paper is original in proposing edge sampling as a sampling strategy to generating deviation numbers in tolerance analysis.

Abstract. Problems of inelastic straining of three-dimensional bodies with large displacements and turns are considered. In addition to the sought fields, surface forces and boundary displacements, original size and shape have also to be determined from specified residual displacements in these problems. Currently, forming of light metals poses tremendous challenges due to their low ductility at room temperature and their unusual deformation characteristics at hot-cold work: strong asymmetry between tensile and compressive behavior, and a very pronounced anisotropy. We proposed the constitutive models of steady-state creep of initially transverse isotropy structural materials the kind of the stress state has influence [1]. The forming process considered includes two stages: active stage of elastoviscoplastic straining of the blank in the die tooling and passive stage of unloading of the blank withdrawn from the die tooling. The final stress-strain state at the active stage is the initial state for the passive stage. Unloading is considered as purely elastic straining, with no increments of inelastic strains. The active stage, in turn, also includes two steps. At the first step, the frontal faces of the “cold” blank are pressed to the working surfaces of the die tooling, which results in elastoplastic straining of the blank. The second step includes the processes of stress relaxation and creep strain in the blank fixed in this die tooling during a given time at an elevated ageing temperature. Computer modeling of these forming processes involves the use of the finite element method for consecutive solutions of three-dimensional quasi-static problems of elastoplastic straining, relaxation, and unloading, and also determining boundary conditions from given residual displacements [2] . The paper gives basics of the developed computer-aided system of design, modeling, and electronic simulation targeting the processes of manufacture of wing integral panels. System application data resulting from computation of 3D-involute of a CAD-based panel model, determination of working surfaces of die tooling, three-dimensional analysis of stresses, and simulation of panel shaping under diverse thermo-mechanical and speed conditions are demonstrated. Modeling of forming of wing panels of the SSJ-100 aircraft are considered [2,3]. The modeling results can be used to calculate the die tooling, determine the panel processibility, and control panel rejection in the course of forming [3]. References [1] A.I.

The primary goal of concurrent engineering is to minimize the time spend and to reduce quality problems encountered between a product's conception and customer use, thereby minimizing cost and maximizing product quality. Tolerance is an important index of product design and manufacture. Although they are small as compared with part dimensions, tolerances can propagate and accumulate in an assembly affecting the product assimilability. Moreover, tolerance is inevitable because manufacturing exactly equal parts is known to be impossible. This paper presents a brief review of statistical tolerance and clearance analysis for the assembly, and proposes a method of tolerance analysis by a leading commercial computer-aided tolerance (CAT) analysis system, VisVSA. This method can ensure assembly precision requirements, and design optimally tolerance distribution based on Monte Carlo simulation, take a example of brake assembly to detailed introduce the use of this method. The purpose of this article is expected to make the following contributions: (i) to help the designers to evaluate products for assimilability, (ii) to provide a new perspective to tolerance problems, and (iii) to provide a tolerance analysis tool, VisVSA, which can be incorporated into a CAD or solid modeling system.
