경량 모델의 삼각 요소망으로부터 경계 곡선 추출 방법

초록

Sharing of CAD data plays a key role in the PLM and a lightweight model is widely used for visualizing and sharing a large data. The lightweight model is mainly composed of triangular elements to minimize file size. There is no problem at all to visually confirm the shape based on these triangular elements but there is a limit to numerically calculate the exact position on the curve or surface. In this paper, a boundary curve generation method using triangular elements is proposed to increase the utilization of lightweight models. After matching connectivity of triangular elements, boundary element edges are extracted. Boundary curves are generated by connecting of these boundary element edges. This proposed method has been tested on several models to demonstrate the feasibility.
