Numerical analysis method of a vehicle drive

Номер: US20120239245A1
Автор: Hiroshi Tamura
Принадлежит: Toyota Motor Corp

A first analyzing step is a step that conducts numerical analysis of a flow field but does not conduct numerical analysis of a temperature field in a state in which a motor rotor is rotating. The second analyzing step is a step that conducts numerical analysis of both the flow field and the temperature field after the first analyzing step ends. Accordingly, before numerical analysis of the flow field and numerical analysis of the temperature field are conducted together, numerical analysis is conducted first on the flow field in first analyzing step before it is conducted on the temperature field. As a result, compared with when the second analyzing step is executed from the beginning without conducting the first analyzing step, the calculation load of the numerical analysis on an electronic calculator can be reduced, which enables the time that it takes to conduct the numerical analysis to be shortened.

Extracting Feature Information From Mesh

Номер: US20130212537A1
Автор: James Hall
Принадлежит: Adobe Systems Inc

A method includes displaying a three-dimensional shape in a view generated by a viewing tool. The three-dimensional shape represented as a mesh can be obtained from a CAD or other 3D modeling tool. The mesh obtained from one of these sources can contain a high percentage of data points and edges that while required for display purposes, are of no interest to the measurement process. The method simplifies the measurement process by extracting important feature information from the mesh. The method includes receiving, while the three-dimensional shape is displayed, positional input generated by a user placing a cursor at a selected point in the view. The method includes determining an appropriate feature on the mesh as a function of the user input and the mesh, to be made available for measurement purposes. The method includes generating an output from the viewing tool that indicates the selected feature.

A system for determining the pose of an articulated model of a virtual subject in carrying out a task within a vehicle occupant packaging design is described. The system uses an initial posture of the articulated model prior to the virtual subject carrying out the task as a starting point. The system determines pose throughout the carrying out of the task by the virtual subject. The pose is determined based on the parameters of the virtual subject, the design, the task to be completed, and a set of constraints restricting the motion of the virtual subject. The pose can be analyzed to determine the feasibility of a design for a human subject, without the need for live subject testing. The method is analytically derived and results in a kinematically and dynamically consistent posture in real-time without requiring iterative optimization.

Information about different road networks is retrieved from different sources. Applicable rules and parameter values for constructing an integrated road network are determined for each road network. Roads are first extended at their endpoints. Intersection points among the extended roads are detected. Roads are then divided into road segments at the detected intersection points, and shorted by removing road segments extended beyond intersection points. To process a large scale of road information, extended roads are divided into road segments and distributed to reducers based on their geographic locations for the reducers to detect intersection points among the received road segments. The resulting road segments are then distributed to reducers based on the roads they belong to for the reducers to first reassemble the road segments, then divide the reassembled roads at the detected intersection points, and finally remove road segments extended beyond intersection points.

Method For Designing A Three-Dimensional Mesh In A 3D Scene

Номер: US20220020224A1
Принадлежит: Dassault Systemes SE

A computer-implemented method for designing a three-dimensional (3D) mesh in a 3D scene. The method comprises displaying a 3D mesh in a 3D scene and providing a global orientation and selecting, with a pointing device, one or more vertices of the 3D mesh, thereby forming a set of one or more vertices. The method comprises computing at least one picking zone that surrounds each vertex of the set. The method comprises providing a first manipulator for controlling a displacement of each vertex of the set along one or more NUV directions and determining whether the pointing device is maintained within the picking zone. If not, the method comprises providing a second manipulator for controlling a displacement of the one or more vertices of the set along one or more directions defined by the global orientation. The method improves user interactions for switching back and forth a first and second manipulators.

A method of designing a cooling circuit inside a mold that includes therein the cooling circuit that passes through an inlet and an outlet includes a control plane setting step, a reference plane setting step, an intersection line extraction step, and a circuit setting step. The control plane setting step sets a control plane that is perpendicular to the mold surface on the side which comes in contact with a material and that passes through the inlet and the outlet. The reference plane setting step sets a reference plane that is offset by a fixed distance from the mold surface to the inside of the mold. In the intersection line extraction step, an intersection line at which the control plane and the reference plane intersect is extracted. In the circuit setting step, the cooling circuit is set inside the mold along the intersection line. 1.
