| summary |
The research we are carrying on is intended to develop a tool aiding to design building mechanical
assembly systems, which are often characterised by high complexity levels.
In fact, when designing complicated building assemblies by making use of common graphical
representations, it might be impossible for the operator to choose the proper shape and installation
sequence of components so that they do not interfere during the assembly, and to check, in the
meantime, the most favorable setting up modalities according to execution problems.
Our software, running within CAD, by starting from the definition of the node features, will allow the
operator to automatically get three types of representation that can simulate the assembly according to
the assigned installation sequence:
- instant images of the phases for setting up each component into the node;
- 3D views showing the position of each component disassembled from the node and indicating the
movements required for connection;
- the components moving while the node is being constructed.
All the representations can be updated step by step each time modifications to the node are made.
Through this digital iterative design process - that takes advantage of various simultaneous and realistic
prefigurations - the shape and function compatibility between the elements during the assembling can be
verified. Furthermore, the software can quickly check whether any change and integration to the node is
efficacious, rising the approximation levels in the design phase.
At the moment we have developed the part of the tool that simulates the assembly by moving the
components into the nodes according to the installation sequence. |
