Functional Modeling in Parametric Cad Systems

چکیده
We review the transition now being undertaken from 2D drafting to 3D parametric modeling and the development of Building Information Modeling (BIM). We examine the functionality of BIM platforms, using an example from precast concrete structures. We formulate the development of parametric modeling of building systems from the context of SFB modeling and characterize most parametric modeling as function-form mapping, with optional behavior-driven detailing. We examine the implications of this kind of technology for future building software development and the future delivery of design expertise in building.

Parametric 3D Modeling in Building Construction with Examples from Precast Concrete
Buildings are complex products containing relatively large numbers of distinct parts that are collected in multiple assemblies for different design, analysis and production purposes. Modeling buildings in fully parametric 3D CAD systems offers numerous benefits in terms of productivity, the ability to rapidly generate design alternatives at different levels, and elimination of errors that resul...
متن کاملExplicit reference modeling methodology in parametric CAD system
Today parametric associative CAD systems must help companies to create more efficient virtual development processes. While dealing with complex parts (e.g. the number of surfaces of the solid) no CAD modeling methodology is existing. Based on the analysis of industrial designers’ practices as well as student practices on CAD, we identified key factors that lead to better performance. Our object...
متن کاملParametric CAD modeling: An analysis of strategies for design reusability
CAD model quality in parametric design scenarios largely determines the level of flexibility and adaptability of a 3D model (how easy it is to alter the geometry) as well as its reusability (the ability to use existing geometry in other contexts and applications). In the context of mechanical CAD systems, the nature of the feature-based parametric modeling paradigm, which is based on parent-chi...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Integrating Design by Features and Feature Recognition
1 Currently with HKS 2 Corresponding author ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Feature technology has been evolving since the early 1980s, yet is still found in few commercial CAD systems. Traditional CAD systems provide support for geometric design and limited parametric design. Two basic approaches to feature modeling have been developed: design by features and feature recognition. Each of these me...
متن کاملDirect Modeling: Easy Changes in CAD?
Direct Modeling is an emerging CAD technology that uses direct manipulation of the geometry to effect changes in the part model, and is based on a boundary representation database. This paper highlights the differences between Direct Modeling and conventional history-based solid modeling, compares emerging technologies, and discusses what this means for engineering graphics educators. Introduct...
