Abstract:
A computer-implemented method designs a tying bar enclosing a plurality of concrete-reinforcing bars in a 3D scene of a computer-aided design system. The method a) provides the three-dimensional models of the concrete-reinforcing bars to be enclosed by the tying bar; and b) computes a set of traces of each of the concrete-reinforcing bars. Each trace has a trace center. Next a set of connection lines is computed. Each connection line binds the trace centers. A set of circular arcs is computed. Each circular arc surrounds at least partially a respective trace, and a set of segments. Each segment is approximately parallel to a respective connection line and connects consecutive circular arcs. The segments and circular arcs form a center curve of the tying bar in the sketch plane. Lastly, the tying bar is designed based on the center curve and the bar radius of the tying bar.
Abstract:
A computer-aided design system and computer-implemented method define initial conditions for dynamic simulation of an assembly of objects in a three-dimensional scene of a computer-aided design. The system and method provide (S1) the assembly of objects with information relative to kinematic joints linking objects of the assembly. The system/method provide (S2) a manipulating tool (M) embedded in the scene; attach (S3) said manipulating tool (M) to one object of the assembly; select (S4) a degree of freedom of the manipulating tool (M) attached to the object of the assembly; and input (S5) at least one initial condition (IC) according to said selected degree of freedom, an initial condition comprising an initial position and/or an initial speed and/or an initial acceleration. The tool has a referential (reference) with three-axes allowing for each axis a degree of freedom in translation and a degree of freedom in rotation. Next the system and method calculate (S6) and display in real time the dynamic simulation taking into account the initial conditions (IC) previously defined.
