Abstract:

To solve 3D Heterogeneous CAD interference checking problems, a new method based on lightweight model was proposed. Using lightweight model and subdividing the set of the possible interference components step by step, this method can finish interference checking quickly and the results can be handled well by both visualization and analysis reports. Then, the results were sent to designers throught a collaborative tool based on PLM managing the model designing and interference checking, which enable designers obtain the accurate feedback as quickly as possible to modify the original 3D models and make collaborative work among designers much easier. The proposed method has been implemented in a commercial 3D browser named InteVue and the application result shows that it can be used as a strong reference during 3D heterogeneous CAD model designing.
