Aims :

The aim of the course is to provide the methods for the integrated use of geometric modeling and simulation systems to support the design/production processes. The issues related to the systems customization for specific application fields will be studied.

Topics :

Technologies for rigid geometric modeling: solid modeling, surface modeling. Machines and plants modeling: assembly modeling, issues for cinematic simulation. The role of geometric modeling to support design: functional modeling, parametric modeling, knowledge-based modeling. Digital mock-up and Virtual Prototyping. System integration and data exchange issues. Methods and techniques for Reverse Engineering: applicative examples in the industrial design field. Process modeling: IDEF0 methodology. PDM/PLM and ERP issues. Development of macro and algorithms based on geometric modeling kernels for the automatic generation of shapes.

Textbooks :

Articles distributed during lessons.

Exam :

Development of a project involving advanced use of CAD/CAM/RE systems.

Tutorial Session:

To be decided with the teacher.
