CAD 모델의 오류 검증을 위한 도구 개발

To develop automobiles, engineers involved in a new car project team use various kinds of CAD systems according to specific requirements. For example, engineers in Hyundai Automotive are using Pro/Designer for the style design of a car, CATIA to design parts and assemblies, ANSYS for FEM analysis, and Pro/Engineer to design engines. Because they use different CAD systems, they have difficulty in cooperative design. Data, which contains errors, is transferred between CAD systems. It is difficult to find out such errors in a large CAD model. An evaluation method for CAD models has been developed. The developed diagnosis tool analyses a STEP or IGES file form a CAD system, and produces quantitative error report. It has been applied it to several actual car data.
