Functions of geometric modelling:

The functions of geometric modelling in several functional areas are listed below:

Design Analysis

• Assessment of volume, area mass & inertia properties.
• Interference examine out in assemblies.
• Study of tolerance developed in assemblies.
• Kinematic testing of mechanisms & robots.
• Automatic mesh generation for finite element analysis.

Drafting

• Automatic hidden lines & surface elimination.
• Automatic planar cross-sectioning.
• Automatic development of shaded images.
• Automatic dimensioning.
• Automatic creation of exploded views of assemblies.

Manufacturing

• Parts classification.
• Procedure Planning.
• NC data generation & verification.
• Robot program generation.
