Abstract

In this research we present a novel method which combines and visualizes the design model and the FDM-based simulation result of solidification. Moreover we employ VR displays and visualize stereoscopic images to provide an effective analysis environment. First we reconstruct the solidification simulation result to a rectangular mesh model using a conventional simulation software. Then each point color of the reconstructed model represents a temperature value of its position. Next we map the two models by finding the nearest point of the reconstructed model for each point of the design model and then assign the point color of the design model as that of the reconstructed model. Before this mapping we apply mesh subdivision because the design model is composed of minimum number of points and that makes the point distribution of the design model not uniform compared with the reconstructed model. In this process the original shape is preserved in the manner that points are added to the mesh edge which length is longer than a predefined threshold value. The implemented system visualizes the solidification simulation data on the design model, which allows the user to understand the object geometry precisely. The immersive and realistic working environment constructed with use of VR display can support the user to discover the defect occurrence faster and more effectively.

본 연구에서는 설계모델과 주물 응고의 유한차분법 기반 해석결과를 결합하여 가시화하는 새로운 방법을 제안하고 VR 디스플레이를 도입하여 입체 가시화함으로써 보다 효과적인 분석작업 환경을 제공한다. 먼저 기존 해석 소프트웨어를 사용하여 얻어진 응고해석 결과를 사각형 메쉬모델로 복원하여 복원모델의 모든 정점의 색이 해당 위치의 온도수치를 표현하도록 한다. 다음으로 설계모델의 모든 정점에 대해 가장 가까운 복원모델의 정점을 탐색함으로써 두 모델을 대응하고 대응점의 색을 설계모델 정점에 지정한다. 이때 설계 모델은 최소의 정점으로 모델의 형상이 이루어져 있어 정점의 분포가 복원모델에 비해 균일하지 않으므로 특정 임계값을 설정하여 삼각형 변의 길이가 이보다 큰 경우 정점을 추가함으로써 형태를 유지하는 메쉬 분할을 수행한다. 구현된 시스템은 설계모델 상에서 응고해석 데이터를 가시화함으로써 사용자가 분석객체 세부영역의 정확한 기하정보를 파악할 수 있으며 VR 디스플레이를 통해 실감나는 작업환경을 제공함으로써 보다 빠르고 효과적으로 문제발생여부를 판단할 수 있다.
