Deformable Modeling Using Generalized Curve Constraints

View page
US Patent:
6369815, Apr 9, 2002
Filed:
Apr 23, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/299037
Inventors:
George Celniker - Austin TX
Richard M. Sowar - Boulder CO
Assignee:
Spatial Technology, Inc. - Boulder CO
International Classification:
G06T 1700
US Classification:
345420, 345429
Abstract:
For simultaneous deformations of multiple surfaces, a constraint called a link constraint is created to link two faces that are to be deformed together. The link constraint consists of a relationship between a constraint curve in each face to be deformed. The selected constraint curve may be any curve, including trimmed curves and part of a boundary curve. As the faces are deformed, the link constraint limits the deformation of the faces by acting as a zipper between the two surfaces along the selected constraint curve. For local deformations within a surface, a hierarchy is created within specific areas, known as patches, of an individual face in a model, ensuring that when a patch in the hierarchy is deformed, the deformation affects patches lower in the hierarchy than that patch, but the deformation does not affect patches higher in the hierarchy. A constraint curve known as a seam, which may be any simple closed loop curve, is used to define the relationship between a patch, known as a parent patch, and a patch directly below that patch in the hierarchy, known as a child patch. For each seam, a seam constraint is created which limits the deformation of the associated child patch and all its children by forcing the child patch to maintain connectivity with its parent patch along the seam.

Method And Apparatus For Solids Based Machining

US Patent:
53511964, Sep 27, 1994
Filed:
Oct 14, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/138816
Inventors:
Richard M. Sowar - Boulder CO
William C. Heiny - Arvada CO
Paul C. Olsen - Broomfield CO
Mark R. Hotchkiss - Louisville CO
Thomas L. Dixon - Broomfield CO
Charles W. Richard - Boulder CO
Michael D. Raines - Boulder CO
Assignee:
Spacial Technology, Inc. - Boulder CO
International Classification:
G06F 1546
G06F 1560
US Classification:
36447424
Abstract:
The present invention relates to processes for the automatic generation of numerical control (NC) tool paths in a CAD/CAM environment. The present invention operates on mechanical parts described as solid models. The process employs well-defined solid models of the part to be machined and the raw stock from which it will be machined. The volumetric difference between the stock and the part defines the material (delta volumes) that must be cut away during the actual machining process. Delta volumes are solid models, and users (or an expert system) can subdivide delta volumes into smaller volumes that are consistent with a manufacturing process plan. A delta volume and a user-defined strategy for machining the delta volume are then input to NC algorithms. The algorithms generate NC tool paths that remove as much delta volume material as possible. Tool volumes are automatically generated from NC tool paths to represent the volume traversed by the cutting tool.
