These competitions require advanced technologies to increase performance of the sails. In the paper, Reverse Engineering （RE） acquisition, CAD （Computer Aided Design） reconstruction and FE （Finite Element） analysis are used in the design phase for a spinnaker in order to maximize the performance of the sail boat. Materials and Methods： The comparison, between the design data and the characteristics in the real conditions of use of the sail （constant wind pressure acting on the sail）, was carried out by the reconstruction of the three-dimensional CAD model of the spinnaker shape in full-scale, using a non contact Reverse Engineering technique, the photogrammetry and by a FE non linear static analysis. Results： The results of this study show a good correspondence between the design data and the characteristics in the real conditions of use of the sail. Significance： The described methodology is useful for sail makers. It can be successfully adopted to generate three-dimensional CAD-FE models of a sail starting from a very cheap and fast Reverse Engineering non-contact procedure.展开更多

The parameters of a compressor blade are created from the Computational Fluid Dynamics （CFD） software CFX-BladeGen, and are inputted to the Computer Aided Design （CAD） software UG for building a curve surface model to create an entity model in UG. The result shows that the blade model is favorable from the entity effect and reflection analysis and the model process is useful for the CAD model creation of turbomachinery blades.展开更多

However, relevant research is still not fully discussed. Therefore, a functional semantic-based CAD model annotation and retrieval method is proposed to support mechanical conceptual design and design reuse, inspire designer creativity through existing CAD models, shorten design cycle, and reduce costs. Firstly, the CAD model functional semantic ontology is constructed to formally represent the functional semantics of CAD models and describe the mechanical conceptual design space comprehensively and consistently. Secondly, an approach to represent CAD models as attributed adjacency graphs（AAG） is proposed. In this method, the geometry and topology data are extracted from STEP models. On the basis of AAG, the functional semantics of CAD models are annotated semi-automatically by matching CAD models that contain the partial features of which functional semantics have been annotated manually, thereby constructing CAD Model Repository that supports model retrieval based on functional semantics. Thirdly, a CAD model retrieval algorithm that supports multi-function extended retrieval is proposed to explore more potential creative design knowledge in the semantic level. Finally, a prototype system, called Functional Semantic-based CAD Model Annotation and Retrieval System（FSMARS）, is implemented. A case demonstrates that FSMARS can successfully botain multiple potential CAD models that conform to the desired function. The proposed research addresses actual needs and presents a new way to acquire CAD models in the mechanical conceptual design phase.展开更多

The system allows designer to make substantial changes to a part or assembly at any time during the design process. User can develop his/her own special CAD system with the help of GS CADS98s macro language PPL or kernel routines. Furthermore, it is flexible enough to exchange product data with other CAD/CAE/CAM systems according to neutral file. GS CAD98s product data is managed by an object oriented database management system called OSCAR, and the product model is built according to the standard STEP. As a result of the unified product model, all product data are globally associated in GS CAD98. GS CAD98 supports the integration with CAPP, CAM and PDM.展开更多
