In modern industrial production some of the major factors of successful development include: cost reduction of the production, im-provement of its quality, as well as help to minimise the time in market en-try. Computer-aided design and Computer-aided engineering (CAD / CAE - systems) are the most effective for implementation of these requirements. Possible use of this engineering modeling simulation in conjunction with the power and speed of high performance computing could reduce costs and time of each cycle of designing, and also significantly reduce devel-opment time. The introduction of new technologies, the use of high quality products and engagement of qualified personnel would allow businesses and organizations to get on a path of innovative development of design and production systems.

Competition generated the requirement of quick decisions at engineering activities. As a consequence, application of advanced computer modeling in engineering design needs application of intelligent computer methods to assist human decision making. A powerful CAD/CAM system with a comprehensive range of sophisticated modeling tools for describing engineering objects and programming tools for creating modeling procedures constitutes an appropriate environment to accept intelligent methods. The only way of survival for companies producing mechanical products on the competitive edge seems application of advanced modeling together with intelligent decision making. Much modeling, problem solving, database handling, visualization and other methods are involved in a typical computer-based engineering process. This process recently relies upon an integrated set of modeling tools and an integrated product database. Involving intelligent computer methods is a great challenge in this field. This paper surveys advanced modeling from the point of view of application of intelligent methods. It is organized as follows. A characterization of state of the art in advanced engineering modeling reveals important issues to be discussed in this paper. Following this, worldwide network-based group work of engineers is discussed. Human computer interaction (HCI) and network communication methods as important aspects of computer-aided engineering are outlined. Then recent development results in modeling of mechanical systems with special emphasis on integrated modeling of mechanical products, especially well-engineered shapes, are introduced. Finally, virtual manufacturing as an area of involving intelligent methods in CAD/CAM technology is discussed.

Computer-aided design (CAD) has become an integral part of engineering education, particularly for those studying mechanical engineering. By providing practical skills that are highly valued in the engineering industry, proficiency in CAD systems enhances students’ employability. Generally, CAD systems provide students with the tools and knowledge necessary to excel in their engineering education and future careers. In order to help teachers to give the best training to their students and to make the right evaluations, an automatized tool is needed to support the evaluation of CAD models during training sessions. After an extensive bibliographical search, this paper proposes a CAD Model Automatized Assessment (MAA) Tool for mechanical courses called the CAD MAA Tool. This tool is mainly based on a developed model that takes into account different aspects of modeling, such as geometric, feature-based, and parametric modeling. To correctly evaluate a given part compared to a reference one, the proposed model uses different coefficients fixed by the teacher according to their teaching strategies or course objectives.

Computer-Aided Design (CAD) generative modeling has a strong and long-term application in the industry. Recently, the parametric CAD sequence as the design logic of an object has been widely mined by sequence models. However, the industrial CAD models, especially in component objects, are fine-grained and complex, requiring a longer parametric CAD sequence to define. To address the problem, we introduce Mamba-CAD, a self-supervised generative modeling for complex CAD models in the industry, which can model on a longer parametric CAD sequence. Specifically, we first design an encoder-decoder framework based on a Mamba architecture and pair it with a CAD reconstruction task for pre-training to model the latent representation of CAD models; and then we utilize the learned representation to guide a generative adversarial network to produce the fake representation of CAD models, which would be finally recovered into parametric CAD sequences via the decoder of Mamba-CAD. To train Mamba-CAD, we further create a new dataset consisting of 77,078 CAD models with longer parametric CAD sequences. Comprehensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of our model under various evaluation metrics, especially in the generation length of valid parametric CAD sequences.

Three-dimensional computer-aided design (3D-CAD) systems that integrate critical path method (CPM) algorithms, commonly referred to as four-dimensional computer-aided design (4D-CAD), have received a high level of interest over the past few years due to the insight they offer into constructability and feasibility analysis. This paper outlines an approach that facilitates this modeling method through integration between a commercial 3D-CAD software package and a discrete-event simulation tool. This approach employs a product-based modeling method that integrates simulation models with CAD drawings to provide real-time analysis and improved model accuracy in modeling construction operations. By integrating with 3D-CAD drawings, the models require much less data entry and provide a much higher degree of accuracy. Additionally, during the course of a project, resource and time consumption data can be collected and used to continually update the model, minimizing the use of assumptions and generalized data. This paper provides a short background and literature review to contextualize the problem statement, describes the product atomic component (PAC) used to integrate 3D-CAD and the simulation model, outlines some of the implementation issues in a simulation context, and presents a prototype system with an example application for an earthmoving project.Key words: 4D-CAD, CPM, product atomic component, simulation modeling, integration, earthmoving.

Computer-aided design (CAD) systems have advanced to become a critical tool in product design. Nevertheless, they still primarily rely on the traditional mouse and keyboard interface. This limits the naturalness and intuitiveness of the 3D modeling process. Recently, a multimodal human–computer interface (HCI) has been proposed as the next-generation interaction paradigm. Widening the use of a multimodal HCI provides new opportunities for realizing natural interactions in 3D modeling. In this study, we conducted a literature review of a multimodal HCI for CAD to summarize the state-of-the-art research and establish a solid foundation for future research. We explore and categorize the requirements for natural HCIs and discuss paradigms for their implementation in CAD. Following this, factors to evaluate the system performance and user experience of a natural HCI are summarized and analyzed. We conclude by discussing challenges and key research directions for a natural HCI in product design to inspire future studies.

Traditional dental implant surgery has been challenged by the phenomenal progression in computer-assisted surgery (CAS) that we have been witnessing in recent years. Among the computer-aided technologies, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) techniques represent by far the most attractive and accepted alternatives over their dynamic counterpart, navigational assistance. Based on many years of experience, we have determined that CAD/CAM technology for guiding dental implant surgery is valuable for rehabilitation of the anterior maxillary region and the management of complete or severe partial edentulism. The technology also guarantees the 3D parallelism of implants. The purpose of the present report is to describe indications for use of CAD/CAM dental implant guided surgery. We analyzed the clinical and radiological data of thirteen consecutive edentulous patients treated using CAD/CAM techniques. All of the patients had stable cosmetic results with a high rate of patient satisfaction at the final follow-up examination. No intra- and/or postoperative complications were encountered during any of the steps of the procedure. The application of CAD/CAM techniques produced successful outcomes in the patients presented in this series.

Abstract Rapid assembly modeling system is a tool that needs to be used in the design process. Because the three-dimensional modeling is intuitive, powerful and can be used in actual engineering, it is more and more used in manufacturing production. In the rapid development of computer-aided design technology, CAD/CAM software is the most commonly used and most widely used modeling tool. Therefore, the purpose of this article to study the rapid assembly modeling in the computer-aided design system is to improve the performance and accuracy of the assembly system and promote the high-quality production of products. This article mainly uses experimental method and case analysis method to test the assembly system designed in this article. The experimental results show that, under low temperature conditions, the relative error and absolute error of the assembly size are in a small space, which meets the actual requirements. Therefore, the system designed in this paper can be used in practice.

3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) modeling is ubiquitous in mechanical engineering and design. Modern CAD models are programs that produce geometry and can be used to implement high-level geometric changes by modifying input parameters. While there has been a surge of recent interest in program-based tooling for the CAD domain, one fundamental problem remains unsolved. CAD programs pass geometric arguments to operations using references, which are queries that select elements from the constructed geometry according to programmer intent. The challenge is designing reference semantics that can express programmer intent across all geometric topologies achievable with model parameters, including topologies where the desired elements are not present. In current systems, both users and automated tools may create invalid models when parameters are changed, as references to geometric elements are lost or silently and arbitrarily switched. While existing CAD systems use heuristics to attempt to infer user intent in cases of this undefined behavior, this best-effort solution is not suitable for constructing automated tools to edit and optimize CAD programs. We analyze the failure modes of existing referencing schemes and formalize a set of criteria on which to evaluate solutions to the CAD referencing problem. In turn, we propose a domain-specific language that exposes references as a first-class language construct, using user-authored queries to introspect element history and define references safely over all paths. We give a semantics for fine-grained element lineage that can subsequently be queried; and show that our language meets the desired properties. Finally, we provide an implementation of a lineage-based referencing system in a 2.5D CAD kernel, demonstrating realistic referencing scenarios and illustrating how our system safely represents models that cause reference breakage in existing CAD systems.

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the surface modeling capabilities of two leading contemporary computeraided design (CAD) software packages: KOMPAS-3D and SOLIDWORKS. The research focuses on evaluating their efficiency in creating complex components using surface modeling tools. As a test case, a geometrically intricate component – the VM-sinus mandrel for mold sleeves with a 125×125 mm cross-section – was selected. These copper sleeves play a crucial role in the primary cooling of molten metal within the crystallizer, ensuring the formation of a precisely shaped ingot. Given these functional demands, the mandrel requires exceptional accuracy and geometric precision. Due to the complexity of its structure, surface modeling (SM) tools represent the most practical and efficient approach to its digital design. In this study, various surface modeling tools available in both software systems were assessed, with the most suitable and functionally comparable tools selected for direct comparison. The 3D model was successfully created in both CAD environments, allowing for an objective assessment of interface usability and computational performance under identical conditions. The findings reveal several key insights: SOLIDWORKS demonstrated a simpler and faster approach to model creation, the user interface of SOLIDWORKS was more streamlined and intuitive, offering a superior user experience compared to KOMPAS-3D, in terms of computational performance and stability, both software packages exhibited equally high efficiency when handling surface modeling tasks.

Abstract The nature of 3D ability is deeply considered, but little is known about students’ learning and understandings of technology and about the meaning to become more technologically capable. We considered the spatial intelligence of first-grade engineering students, how much that improved to the effect of 18 times 45 minutes course of computer-aided 3D modeling. We consider the success of our 3D course in spatial intelligence. According to the result of the tests, one-third of the engineer candidates has good spatial intelligence. We introduce some useful problems in 3D education; the presented problems help the students in learning how to solve technology problems, and how to design objects. We offer the intellectual pleasure of problem solving through 3D problems. Our CAD course excellently improves the spatial skills of the middle third of the students. Computer-aided 3D modeling also bridges the gap for students with worse spatial ability. Dealing with students in a more differentiated way about CAD modeling would be advisable.

This article focuses on the nanotechnology-related research work at Georgina Institute of Technology. The Georgia Institute of Technology’s Multiscale Systems Engineering Research Group is working to integrate the modeling and simulation features of today’s computer-aided design (CAD) with materials design capability. These integrated features would be available at the nano, meso, micro, and macro scales, which is called multiscale CAD. In future CAD systems, engineers will be able to zoom in to specify material morphology and distributions. Offering the capability of designing materials in CAD requires the representation of many different kinds of shapes. The multiscale CAD would also allow engineers to design better functional materials, such as state-change materials. The geometric modeling of microstructures that make up material is still in its infancy. The efficiency and controllability of complex and porous shapes are the most important research topics for the interactive modeling and design of microstructures.

Three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) is a vital tool for visualizing design ideas. While conventional parametric CAD modeling is commonly used, emerging virtual reality (VR) applications in 3D CAD modeling require further exploration. This study contrasts the emotional response, flow experience, and operational performance of design novices using VR free-form modeling (Gravity Sketch 3D) and conventional parametric CAD modeling (SolidWorks). We arranged two representative tasks for 30 participants: modeling an exact geometric shape (a cube) and a creative shape (a mug). We measured emotional response and flow experience through scales, and gathered operational performance, and further insights through semistructured interviews. The findings reveal more positive and intense emotional responses to VR free-form modeling, but its overall flow experience did not exceed expectations. No significant differences were found in concentration, time distortion sense, or control between the two techniques. Comparing modeling tasks, VR free-form modeling showed promising operational performance for early ideation, whereas conventional parametric CAD modeling proved to be more effective in 3D digitization of known shapes.

Computer-aided design (CAD) systems have evolved significantly from basic 2D drawing tools to advanced 3D modeling and simulation platforms. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into CAD represents a major leap forward, introducing capabilities such as automation, predictive modeling, and generative design. This study provides a thorough analysis of AI's development and application within CAD systems, evaluating both the benefits and limitations of these technologies. AI tools like machine learning, neural networks, and genetic algorithms enhance CAD by facilitating complex data analysis, pattern recognition, and design optimization. However, several challenges persist, including technical issues related to data quality and computing power, as well as obstacles to user adoption and skill development. Additionally, ethical and legal concerns, such as AI bias and intellectual property rights, require attention. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to monitor technological advancements and their effects, as well as explore the socioeconomic implications of AI integration in the design industry.

Reverse engineering is an important process of real model digitization. However, the existing methods are limited by the characteristics of the modeling object; the modeling is low efficient, has poor versatility, and unstable accuracy. To complete the reverse engineering of a real workpiece with irregular deformation based on the ideal computer-aided design (CAD) model, a high-precision reverse engineering method of the workpiece based on the CAD model prior was presented. Through the registration of the ideal CAD model and the point cloud model of the real workpiece, the geometric feature position information and feature constraint information contained in the CAD model are transmitted to the modeling process, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of reverse engineering. This method is applied to the reverse engineering process of the engine compartment with slight irregular deformation, the modeling accuracy reaches 0.04 mm, and the high-precision reverse engineering of the engine compartment is successfully realized.

A brief description of the radar CAD software modules responsible for this functionality is given. The module of engineering calculations and simulations allows you to set the scenario of the interference-target situation and conduct a complete, close to reality, simulation of the behavior of the radar in combat conditions. The visual functional editor provides the ability to create a radar simulation model in the form of a graph of streaming calculations from interconnected parameterizable blocks. The library of parameterizable modeling blocks contains modeling blocks designed for calculations and modeling of structural and functional parts of developed radar stations, complexes, systems. Simulation model of an active single-position pulse-Doppler sector-observation radar with electronic beam scanning was created. The following algorithms are implemented in the model: the sum-difference monopulse direction finding algorithm, the MUSIC superresolution direction finding algorithm, and the projection adaptive spatial filtering algorithm. A simulation experiment was carried out with a radar model in three scenarios of an interference-target environment, which differ in the presence of interfering signals. Analysis of the results of the simulation experiment shows that the operation of the algorithms corresponds to the theoretical prediction. The abilities of radar CAD presented in this article can be used by specialists in radar and signal processing.

This article focuses on the fact that when the time comes for mechanical engineering students to look for their first professional jobs, how much does it count which computer-aided design system they learned in college. In the 1980s, when most engineering organizations were newly acquainted with CAD and computer-aided manufacturing technologies, employers emphasized their need for engineers with very specific knowledge of a particular computer-aided engineering system. Mechanical engineering majors should understand the methods behind solid modeling, such as the principle of orthographic projection. The method of representing objects does not include the viewer’s perspective and can take a bit of practice to pick up. Eifel maintains the CAD programs UGS and I-deas from EDS, and Catia from Dassault Systemes of Paris.

Full textAbstract:
Rapid prototyping uses layered manufacturing technology to produce functional parts directly from 3D computer-aided design model without involving any tools and human intervention. Due to layer by layer deposition, volumetric error remains in the part which is basically the volumetric difference between computer-aided design model and the fabricated part. This volumetric error causes poor dimensional accuracy and surface finish, which has limited the widespread applications of rapid prototyping. Although rapid prototyping is able to produce functional parts in less build time with less material wastage, today many industries are looking for better surface quality associated with these parts. Literature discloses that the part quality can be improved by selecting proper build orientation that corresponds to minimum volumetric error. In support of this, current study presents a computer-aided design-based novel methodology to precisely measure the volumetric error in layered manufacturing process, in particular fused deposition modeling process. The proposed method accepts computer-aided design model of the part in .CAT format and automatically calculates volumetric error for different build orientations. An Excel function is integrated with it to determine optimum build orientation based on minimum volumetric error. Several simple and complex examples verified the robustness of our proposed methodology. We anticipate that the current invention will help future rapid prototyping users in producing high-quality products through an intelligent process planning.

Full textAbstract:
Assembly modeling is a core task of computer aided design (CAD), comprising around one third of the work in a CAD workflow. Optimizing this process therefore represents a huge opportunity in the design of a CAD system, but current research of assembly based modeling is not directly applicable to modern CAD systems because it eschews the dominant data structure of modern CAD: parametric boundary representations (BREPs). CAD assembly modeling defines assemblies as a system of pairwise constraints, called mates , between parts, which are defined relative to BREP topology rather than in world coordinates common to existing work. We propose SB-GCN, a representation learning scheme on BREPs that retains the topological structure of parts, and use these learned representations to predict CAD type mates. To train our system, we compiled the first large scale dataset of BREP CAD assemblies, which we are releasing along with benchmark mate prediction tasks. Finally, we demonstrate the compatibility of our model with an existing commercial CAD system by building a tool that assists users in mate creation by suggesting mate completions, with 72.2% accuracy.

zin_ina@mail.ru Present CAD systems offer insufficient support of a mixed top-down and bottom-up design mode and hardly offer any suitable functionality for 3D tolerancing. In addition, the state-of-the-art 3D CAD systems engineering fail to deal with uncertainties since only fixed parameter values are allowed for their modeling operations. So support on conceptual design phase is not provided. Based on considerations discussed in the preceding we present a CAD system architecture intended to show how the process of computer-aided design can be improved in the sense of providing 3D assembly tolerancing based on interval analysis.

The paper explores the integration of cloud technologies into computer-aided design (CAD) systems, highlighting their advantages, implementation challenges, and impact on modern engineering and design. These features significantly reduce costs associated with technical maintenance, software updates, and infrastructure while improving workflow flexibility and efficiency. Engineers and designers can work on projects remotely, ensuring seamless execution regardless of location. Existing cloud computing models – Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS) – are analyzed for their applicability in CAD. IaaS offers flexible infrastructure for computationally intensive tasks, PaaS supports application development, while SaaS provides ready-to-use design tools accessible via the internet. The study also examines methods for optimizing computing resource allocation to ensure efficient use of cloud capacities, reduce operational costs, and enhance system performance. A key focus is the impact of cloud computing on engineering calculations and complex structure modeling. Cloud services allow for high-speed simulations, making it easier to analyze and optimize designs. The ability to perform resource-intensive computations remotely enhances processing speed and enables more sophisticated simulations in fields like mechanical engineering, architecture, and electronics. Additionally, cloud-based CAD systems facilitate seamless collaboration, allowing engineers and designers to share data, edit models, and analyze results in real-time. This accelerates development cycles, minimizes errors, and improves final project outcomes. Security remains a critical concern in cloud-based design environments. The paper discusses strategies to safeguard data integrity, protect intellectual property, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Encryption, multi-factor authentication, and access control mechanisms are essential for securing cloud-based CAD solutions. Moreover, integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning into cloud CAD systems automates routine tasks, improves predictive modeling, and enhances decision-making, leading to increased productivity. The economic benefits of cloud technology are also examined, emphasizing reduced hardware costs, lower energy consumption, and increased operational efficiency. By leveraging cloud infrastructure, companies can reduce investments in expensive local hardware while still maintaining high computational performance. This shift not only cuts costs but also promotes sustainability by reducing energy consumption and carbon footprints. The conclusions underscore the transformative impact of cloud technologies on CAD. Beyond improving accessibility and collaboration, cloud integration streamlines design processes, enhances efficiency, and reduces time and resource expenditures. As cloud adoption in CAD continues to grow, it presents new opportunities for innovation across industries. The ongoing advancement of cloud-based solutions marks a pivotal shift in modern engineering and design, making them an essential area for further research and development.

The rapid advancement of technology, particularly in virtual reality (VR), is revolutionizing the tourism industry by offering immersive, interactive experiences. Traditional methods of disseminating tourism information often lack engagement and depth. In contrast, VR enhances tourism by creating realistic, three-dimensional environments. The integration of computer-aided design (CAD) enables high-precision 3D modeling, resulting in detailed, lifelike virtual scenic environments. This study shows that VR and CAD not only improve tourism experiences but also boost tourist satisfaction. Case studies, including virtual tours of iconic sites such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China, demonstrate that effective object representation and collision detection techniques enhance user engagement. Additionally, big data analysis helps identify areas for improvement in user experience. As technology advances and costs decrease, VR and CAD are set to redefine how tourism information is shared, improving tourism marketing strategies.

Physically based modeling has been an important research topic in computer graphics and virtual reality. In this paper, physically based modeling issues in virtual assembly are investigated. The specific requirements and characteristics of physically based modeling in virtual assembly versus those in traditional computer graphics are analyzed and studied. The mass properties of the assembly models are extracted from the Computer Aided Design (CAD) system while the design models are transferred from the CAD system to the virtual assembly environment. The assembly models are categorized using human strength survey data. The interaction between the parts, the environment objects, and the human are analyzed. In the fully immersed virtual environment, it is discovered that the gravity acceleration needs to be scaled down to achieve maximum realistic feeling. Finally, the benefits and limitations of physically based modeling in virtual environments are discussed.

Here, “ontology” means the concepts and relationships between them for apparel and apparel design; ontology models are also called conceptual models. To the best of our knowledge, such a model has not yet been made in the literature of apparel and apparel design. A conceptual model is a foundation for (1) effective human-human communication and collaboration, (2) facilitating the communication among different computer programs for computer-aided design (CAD) of apparel products, and (3) facilitating human-computer interactions necessary to design an apparel product. The conceptual model developed completely captures the semantics of apparel and design, including the 2D pattern and 3D apparel product. An example is presented, providing an impression of the usefulness of this model.

Abstract Feature-based translation of computer-aided design (CAD) models allows designers to preserve the modeling history as a series of modeling operations. Modeling operations or features contain information that is required to modify CAD models to create different variants. Conventional formats, including the standard for the exchange of product model data or the initial graphics exchange specification, cannot preserve design intent and only geometric models can be exchanged. As a result, it is not possible to modify these models after their exchange. Macro-parametric approach (MPA) is a method for exchanging feature-based CAD models among heterogeneous CAD systems. TransCAD, a CAD system for inter-CAD translation, is based on this approach. Translators based on MPA were implemented and tested for exchange between two commercial CAD systems. The issues found during the test rallies are reported and analyzed in this work. MPA can be further extended to remaining features and constraints for exchange between commercial CAD systems.

Computer Aided Design (CAD) is a family of techniques that support the automation of designing and drafting 2D and 3D models with computer programs. CAD software is a software platform that provides the process from designing to modeling, such as AutoCAD or FreeCAD. Due to complex functions, the quality of CAD software plays an important role in designing reliable 2D and 3D models. There are many dependencies between defects in CAD software. Software testing is a practical way to detect defects in CAD software development. However, it is expensive to frequently run all the test cases for all functions. In this paper, we design an approach to learning to prioritize test cases for the CAD software, called PriorCadTest. The key idea of this approach is to quantify functional units and to train a learnable model to prioritize test cases. The output of the approach is a sequence of existing test cases. We evaluate PriorCadTest on seven modules of an open-source real-world CAD project, ArtOfIllusion. The Average Percentage of Fault Detect (APFD) is used to measure the effectiveness. Experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms the current industrial practice without test case prioritization.
