Design and analysis of dies using solid modeling techniques

Vagesh Rajashekar, University of Texas at El Paso

Abstract

The “Solid Modeler”, described in this thesis seeks to serve as a Graphical tool to design and analyze dies. The modeler interprets the two objects created, and manipulates the data of these objects to perform the three Boolean operations, Union, Difference and Intersection. Two dies can be created using the modeler, which then can be assembled and tested for collision. The information of a sheet pressed between these two dies is displayed graphically. The package developed is menu driven and the legal command list is displayed through out the interaction for the user's benefit. The input techniques used for the definition of the objects are simple with a fair degree of editing flexibility.
