Three-dimensional solid model of a turntable of a drilling rig is built utilizing the modeling functions of an engineering software SolidWorks. The virtual assembly for every components of the turntable is accomplished with the given assembly sequence in SolidWorks environment. The motion simulation and animation of simulation processes for the turntable under given conditions are carried out with module SOSMOSMotion of SolidWorks, and the dynamic interference check is also completed, so as to guarantee the correctness of the part design and improve the overall design efficiency, accuracy and intuitiveness. The study of assembly and motion simulation of the turntable based on SolidWorks can lay the foundation for communication and evaluation of design process as well as the manufacturing of the overall drilling rig.

Abstract A method to design the two-dimensional shapes of patterns of two piece brassiere cup is proposed when its target three-dimensional shape is given as a cloud of its data points. A brassiere cup consists of several patterns and their shapes are designed by repeatedly making a paper cup model and checking its three-dimensional shape. For improvement of design efficiency of brassieres, such trial and error must be reduced. As a cup model for check is made of paper not cloth, it is assumed that the surface of the model is composed of several developable surfaces. When two lines that consist in the developable surface are given, the surface can be determined. Then, the two-piece brassiere cup can be designed by minimizing the error between the surface and given data points. It was mathematically verified that the developable surface calculated by our propose method can reproduce the given data points which is developable surface.

The model of potato harvester was established by Solidworks software aiming to resolve the problems of low design efficiency and backwards design methods. The potatoes harvester included the chassis, the depth wheel, the dithering and elevating device, the digger blade, the universal joint, the suspension bracket, the gearbox, the tilting ring mechanism, the riddler, and so on. The virtual assembly and the simulation of potato harvester were researched by Solidworks software, and the motion and the assembly had not existed interference phenomenon when the model run the static and dynamic interference inspection. The results showed that the assembly and design of potato harvester will improve the design quality and efficiency and reduce the design cycle, and the research on the motion simulation of potato harvester will provide theoretical foundation for development and application of potato harvester.

When observing the WWD-0.8/10 air compressor that was noiseless and oilless, its vibration and noise were large. These phenomena were related to air compressors reciprocating inertial force and overturning moment which were separately depended on pistons acceleration and forces of connecting rod. Movement mechanisms three-dimensional solid model establishment, virtual assembly and motion simulation were accomplished by Pro/E. The main procedures were introduced in the paper. Many important metrical data obtained about pistons acceleration and forces of connecting rod by motion simulation could supply necessary references for air compressors dynamic optimizations.

Abstract This paper presents a computational framework for designing and optimizing custom compression casts/braces. Different from the conventional cast/brace design, our framework generates custom casts/braces with fitness, lightweight, and good ventilation. The computational pipeline is an end-to-end solution, directly from customer to the manufacturer, which starts from a 3D scanned human model represented by mesh and ends with the 3D printed cast/brace. Our interactive tools allows users to define and edit the 3D curves on the mesh surface, and trim the mesh surface to form the cast/brace shape using the curves. These tools are efficient and simple to use, and also they enable designing the custom casts/braces fitting to the given human body. In order to reduce the weight and improve the ventilation, we adopt the topology optimization (TO) method to optimize the cast/brace design. We extend the existing three-dimensional (3D) TO method to the mesh surface by simplifying the optimization problem to a 2D problem. Therefore, the efficiency of the TO computation is improved significantly. After the optimized cast/brace design is obtained on the mesh surface, a solid model is generated by our design interface and then sent to a 3D printer for fabrication. Simulation results show that our method can better re-disturb the stresses compared with the conventional 3D TO.

It was achieved with the benefit of excellent molding function of CAD/CAM, to solve the designing problems of rotation center of triple eccentric butterfly valve and to improve the seal performance. The Solid Edge software is applied to analyze the process of 3D modeling and motion simulation with details, as well as check both static and dynamic interference. In this way, the reasonable eccentric angle α, cone-apex angle 2β, radial eccentricity e and axial eccentricity C of valve board are acquired. It is effective to shorten the design period of triple eccentric butterfly valve, also improve the design efficiency and quality.
