Real-Time Collaborative Design System for Product Assembly Over the Internet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Product assembly design is a complex activity possible involving collaboration between different designers geographically dispersed. This paper puts forward some significant methodologies and technologies for distributed assembly and presents a collaboration architecture that manages to support working in both synchronous and asynchronous ways. Meanwhile, we adopt a three-level conflicts detection scheme to avoid conflicts effectively and a data streaming technology based on C/P (command/ parameter) to realize the real-time design. Based on the technologies mentioned above, a design system that supports real-time collaborative assembly is developed and we validate it by assembling a mechanical press across network collaboratively.

Typically, during product design collaborating, designers share design data and assembly models. However, due to the limited bandwidth of the Internet transfer of detailed CAD based assembly models is slow. Therefore, tools based on polygonized representations of assembly models have been utilized during collaborative design. These models are primarily used for visualization, which is an import...

This paper presents a scheme for collaborative 3D design using product model at various levels of detail (LODs). Design features are selectively hidden at each level from certain participants, depending on their actual needs and individual accessibility in the collaboration. A tree data structure represents the feature hierarchy of CAD construction, the link between feature and LOD, and 2D mesh...
