Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of computer-aided design, and particularly relates to a method, device, equipment and medium for processing degenerate surfaces of a CAD model. Background Art

[0002] In a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) model, under different scenarios, such as during the modeling process, Boolean operations between entities, or the data conversion process of a CAD model between different software, some complex curved surfaces or thin shell structures may have degenerate surfaces. The existence of the degenerate surface problem will lead to a reduction in the geometric accuracy of the model. When performing precise dimensioning, measurement, or model-based engineering analysis (such as finite element analysis), these abnormal surfaces may lead to incorrect results. And the commonly used degenerate surface processing and repair require a large amount of manual interaction, with low efficiency and a high error rate. In addition, there are huge differences between the repaired model and the original model's geometric data and topological information, which will change the true information of the original CAD model.

[0055] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0056] In a CAD model, the problem of degenerate faces often stems from the following scenarios: 1. During the actual modeling process, users may set inappropriate parameters during operations such as extrusion, rotation, and lofting. For example, when extruding a 2D profile, if the profile lines are not closed or self-intersect, degenerate faces may appear after extrusion. In the lofting operation, if the guide curves or cross-section profiles are not set properly, it is also easy to cause degenerate faces in the generated model. 2. Boolean operations between solids are also one of the common causes of degenerate faces. When performing union, difference, or intersection operations on two or more solids, if the geometric relationships between the solids are complex and the boundary conditions are unclear, some small faces that cannot be processed correctly may appear, thus forming degenerate faces. 3. When converting data of a CAD model between different software, due to differences in geometric kernels, data formats, and precision of different software, it may lead to loss or deformation of geometric information of the model. For example, when converting from one CAD software format (such as Pro / E file format) to another CAD software format (such as SolidWorks file format), some complex curved surfaces or thin shell structures may appear with degenerate faces. When a CAD model is converted from a high-precision format to a low-precision format, in order to adapt to the new data structure and precision requirements, the geometric shape may be simplified, resulting in degenerate faces.

[0057] The existence of the problem of degenerate faces will lead to a reduction in the geometric accuracy of the model. When performing precise dimensioning, measurement, or model-based engineering analysis (such as finite element analysis), these abnormal faces may lead to incorrect results. For example, in finite element analysis, degenerate faces may affect the quality of mesh generation, resulting in inaccurate calculation of local stress and strain. In addition, if the CAD model is used for numerical control machining, degenerate faces may cause errors in tool path generation. In processes such as model manufacturing, these incorrect faces may affect the forming accuracy of the mold, thereby affecting the product quality.

[0058] Commonly used methods for dealing with degenerate faces include geometric repair, topology reconstruction, model simplification, or using various professional 3D modeling software for repair. For example, in SolidWorks, new solid geometries can be created by establishing lines and deleting faces for processing. Such operations for geometric repair of complex solid models may require a large amount of manual interaction, with low efficiency and a high error rate. In addition, there are significant differences between the repaired model and the original input model in terms of geometric data and topological information, which may change the true information of the original CAD model.

[0059] Therefore, the present invention provides a solution for dealing with degenerate faces of a CAD model, which can automatically identify and process degenerate faces without modifying the original geometric data.

[0060] Refer to Figure 1As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a method for processing degenerate surfaces of a CAD model, including:

[0061] Step S11: Import and repair the initial CAD model, and establish a watertight mesh data structure to obtain a composite surface including continuous surfaces and discrete surfaces.

[0062] In this embodiment, the model surface gaps of the initial CAD model are processed to obtain a target CAD model without surface gaps. It can be understood that the initial CAD model generated according to the degenerate surface processing requirements has gaps. In order to obtain accurate degenerate surface processing results, it is necessary to repair the surface gaps of the initial CAD model with gaps to obtain a target CAD model without surface gaps. It should be noted that generating the initial CAD model based on the actual parameter information of the part in the degenerate surface processing requirements is a conventional generation method, such as the reverse engineering method based on measurement data, the forward design method based on design parameters, and the hybrid design method combining the two, which are not specifically limited herein. The degenerate surface processing requirements can specifically be the degenerate surface processing requirements of parts, where the parts can be mechanical parts in different fields, such as parts with complex surfaces like automobile body parts and aircraft hulls, which are not specifically limited herein. For example: When the degenerate surface processing requirement is the degenerate surface processing requirement at the wing-body connection of an aircraft, all the wing parameters (airfoil data, planar shape, wing-body connection method), fuselage parameters (cross-sectional shape, connection area matching requirements), and connection area characteristic parameters of the wing-body connection of the aircraft are imported to generate the corresponding initial CAD model. The gaps of the initial CAD model at the wing-body connection of the aircraft are repaired to obtain a target CAD model without surface gaps at the wing-body connection of the aircraft.

[0063] Furthermore, the target CAD model is meshed and processed to obtain a composite surface that includes discrete surfaces and continuous surfaces. It can be understood that after the initial CAD model is repaired for gaps using the gap repair method to obtain the target CAD model, the watertight mesh data structure of the target CAD model is further generated through the watertight mesh generation method. Among them, the watertight mesh generation framework is a tool or method for constructing the data structure of the target CAD model. In the processing of the target CAD model, the mesh is a discrete representation of the model surface. A watertight mesh means that the connections between the meshes are tight and gapless, just like being sealed. This property is crucial for subsequent precise calculations and analyses. Using this framework to establish the data structure can organize each part of the target CAD model in an orderly and standardized manner, facilitating various subsequent operations on the model. Specifically, after establishing the data structure of the target CAD model through the watertight mesh generation framework, each obtained composite surface includes two parts: discrete surfaces and continuous surfaces. The discrete surface is obtained by discretizing the continuous surface and is composed of a series of discrete point, line, and surface elements. In subsequent degenerate surface processing, it is easier to perform operations on the discrete surface. The continuous surface is the part of the surface that maintains its original continuous characteristics and reflects the overall shape and geometric features of the surface. The discrete surface and the continuous surface cooperate with each other. The discrete surface provides a quantifiable basis for specific operations, and the continuous surface ensures the overall geometric properties of the surface, jointly constituting the composite surface and providing complete surface information for subsequent degenerate surface processing and analysis operations. For example: for the target CAD model at the wing-fuselage connection of an aircraft, its composite surface includes discrete surfaces and continuous surfaces. Among them, the continuous surfaces are: the theoretical shape of the wing (airfoil curve, twist surface), and the transition surface of the fuselage docking section. The discrete surfaces are the discretization of the continuous surface (such as the surface mesh required for CFD / structural analysis) and the supplementary mesh in the repaired gap area (such as the filling mesh at the wing-fuselage connection).

[0064] Step S12: Identify the degenerate surfaces of the composite surface to obtain the corresponding degenerate surface identification results.

[0065] In this embodiment, traverse the composite surface to obtain a patch recognition table constructed based on the information of each patch; determine a patch as the current patch according to the patch recognition order in the patch recognition table, and determine the first area information of the current patch; determine the second area information of the target patch adjacent to the current patch; according to the size relationship between the area ratio of the first area information and the second area information and a preset area ratio threshold, determine whether the current patch belongs to a completely degenerate surface; determine the next patch as the new current patch according to the patch recognition order, and jump to the step of determining the first area information of the current patch to obtain the degenerate surface recognition result of whether each patch belongs to a completely degenerate surface. It can be understood that by traversing the composite surface in the CAD model, checking its geometric and topological characteristics, and entering the judgment step of whether each patch is a completely degenerate surface, the specific judgment process is as follows: Calculate the first area ( ) of the current patch and the second area ( ) of its adjacent surface. If the area ratio ( or ) exceeds the preset area ratio threshold (such as 1:100), it is determined as a completely degenerate surface; obtain the completely degenerate surface recognition results of all patches according to the above steps. For example: For the target CAD model at the wing-body connection of an aircraft, identify the area where degenerate surfaces are likely to appear in the composite surface of the wing connection. Specifically, detect small-area patches (such as area ratio <1:100) at the connection between the wing and the skin to obtain the completely degenerate surface recognition result.

[0066] In this embodiment, traverse all the boundary edges of each patch and determine the included angle value between two boundary edges of each patch; if the included angle value is less than the preset angle tolerance, determine that the current patch is a partially degenerate surface; the partially degenerate surface includes normal boundary edges and candidate degenerate edges. It can be understood that for the corresponding patches identified as non-completely degenerate surfaces, a judgment step of whether they are partially degenerate surfaces is carried out. The specific judgment steps are as follows: Traverse all the boundary edges of the current patch and calculate the included angle values between two boundary edges; specifically, calculate the included angle value through the tangent vectors of the boundary edges (such as using the vector dot product formula). If the included angle value is less than the preset angle tolerance (such as 1°), determine that the current patch is a partially degenerate surface. For example: Calculate the included angle of the boundary edges of the leading edge surface of the wing (such as included angle <1°). Output the corresponding marked completely degenerate surface (such as redundant skin surface) or partially degenerate surface (such as micro-gap at the joint).

[0067] Step S13: If the degenerate surface in the composite surface is a completely degenerate surface, delete the completely degenerate surface, and fuse the adjacent edges of the target patch adjacent to the completely degenerate surface, so as to perform boundary topology reconstruction and stitching of the discrete grid data after reconstruction using the information of the fused surface to obtain the degenerate surface processing result.

[0068] In this embodiment, if the surface is a completely degenerate surface, as follows Figure 2 shown, the surface is a completely degenerate surface. Among them, a degenerate surface refers to a geometrically incomplete patch (such as the vertices of a triangular face being collinear), which is generally caused by incorrect operation parameters of stretching, rotating, or lofting in CAD modeling or geometric conflicts after Boolean operations. A completely degenerate surface is a current patch that has a huge difference in area ratio with adjacent faces and is approximately a single edge. When it is determined that the surface is a completely degenerate surface, first delete the surface . After deletion, the edge ac of the target patch and the edge bd of the target patch are free edges and also adjacent edges. To repair the topological relationship and maintain geometric consistency, they need to be reconnected to repair the topological relationship. Specifically, fuse the ac edge and the bd edge to obtain a virtual super-edge. It should be noted that a virtual super-edge is a virtual edge used to represent the fusion result of two adjacent edges. It does not directly modify the original geometric data but merges two adjacent edges into a logical unit through a virtual topological relationship. The underlying data of this virtual super-edge is based on bd or ac. That is, when generating the virtual super-edge, select one of the edges (such as bd or ac) as the main edge of the underlying data. For example, if bd is selected as the main edge, the geometric data (such as node coordinates and parameterization information) of the virtual super-edge is based on bd, and the data of the ac edge is mapped onto bd. As Figure 3 shown, after deleting the completely degenerate surface, the two exposed edges are: Edge ac: starting point a, ending point c. Edge bd: starting point b, ending point d. Operation process: Fuse edge ac and edge bd to generate a virtual super-edge. Assume that bd is selected as the main edge, then the geometric data of the virtual super-edge is based on bd. The dashed line in the figure is the generated virtual super-edge. For example: The treatment of the completely degenerate surface of the wing skin is to remove the redundant completely degenerate surface on the wing surface, and fuse the adjacent edges (such as edge ac and bd) exposed after deletion of the patch into a virtual super-edge, with the underlying data based on the main load-bearing edge (such as the wing main beam edge bd).

[0069] In this embodiment, reconstruct the boundary topological relationship of the target patch according to the virtual super-edge and super-point obtained by fusion, and uniformly process the distribution information of each discrete point of the target adjacent edge in the reconstructed boundary topological relationship to obtain each target discrete point; perform alignment processing and edge merging processing on the target discrete points of the two target adjacent edges to obtain updated discrete grid data as the processing result of the degenerate surface.

[0070] Among them, reconstructing the boundary topological relationship of the target patch according to the virtual super - edges and super - points obtained by fusion includes: generating super - points by using the virtual super - edges obtained by fusion and the geometric data associated with the virtual super - edges; reconstructing the boundary topological relationship of the target patch after deleting the completely degenerate face by using the virtual super - edges and the super - points to obtain the reconstructed boundary topological relationship. It can be understood that after generating the virtual super - edges, two new super - points are further generated. It should be noted that a super - point is a virtual point used to represent the logical fusion of multiple geometric points. It does not directly modify the original geometric data but combines multiple points into a logical unit through virtual topological relationships. Therefore, in this embodiment, one of the generated super - points is associated with two points a and b, and the other super - point is associated with two points c and d. Then, the boundary topological relationship of the target patch after deleting the completely degenerate face is reconstructed by using the generated virtual super - edges and super - points. In this way, by generating virtual super - edges and super - points, the free edges (such as ac and bd) exposed after deleting the degenerate face are repaired, ensuring the integrity of the model's topological relationship. In this way, the virtual super - edges and super - points do not modify the original geometric data but achieve the fusion of edges and the association of points through virtual topological relationships, avoiding the loss or deformation of geometric information. Fusing two adjacent edges into a virtual super - edge simplifies the model's topological structure and facilitates subsequent processing. In the process of dealing with the completely degenerate face of the wing skin, the steps for generating super - points are as follows: One super - point is associated with the leading - edge points a and b of the wing to ensure the continuity of the aerodynamic shape. Another super - point is associated with the trailing - edge points c and d of the wing to maintain topological symmetry.

[0071] As Figure 3 shown, the first super - point: associates point a and point b, indicating their topological consistency. The second super - point: associates point c and point d, indicating their topological consistency. The virtual super - edge represents the fusion result of edge ac and edge bd, with the underlying data mainly based on bd. The two super - points are respectively associated with the starting points (a and b) and the ending points (c and d) to ensure the correctness of the topological relationship. Based on the above - mentioned virtual super - edges, super - points, and the target patch after removing the completely degenerate face, reconstruct the target patch and the target patch 's boundary topological relationship, update the boundary topological data of the two surfaces. As Figure 4 shown, the boundary of surface is updated to ef - fc - edge - be, and the boundary of surface is updated to edge - dh - hg - gb.

[0072] In this embodiment, the unified processing of the distribution information of each discrete point of the target adjacent edges in the reconstructed boundary topological relationship to obtain each target discrete point includes: performing synchronous discrete processing on the discrete point distribution of each discrete point of the target adjacent edges in the reconstructed boundary topological relationship, so as to refresh the current discrete points of the target adjacent edges to the same distribution, and taking each of the current discrete points as each target discrete point of the target adjacent edges. It can be understood that based on the reconstructed boundary topological relationship, the target adjacent edges on the updated surface are determined. To achieve seamless connection, it is necessary to ensure that the discrete grid nodes on these two edges have a consistent distribution. Therefore, synchronous discrete processing is performed on the discrete point distribution of the target adjacent edges to refresh the current discrete points of the two target adjacent edges to the same distribution, and target discrete points are obtained. As follows Figure 5 shown: Reparameterize the discrete points on the two target adjacent edges, adjust the number and spacing of the discrete points, so that the discrete point distributions (such as the number, position, density) of the two target adjacent edges are exactly the same. For example: If the target adjacent edge ac originally had 10 discrete points and the target adjacent edge bd originally had 8 discrete points, then through interpolation or deletion, both edges use the same number of target discrete points (such as: unified to 9), and ensure that the spacing of the target discrete points is distributed in the same proportion. Force-align the point coordinates of the adjusted target discrete points. For example, the th discrete point of the target adjacent edge ac corresponds geometrically to the th discrete point of the target adjacent edge bd to avoid position deviation. This forced alignment process can be implemented based on the equal arc length segmentation or equal parameter segmentation algorithm of a parametric curve (such as a B-spline). Then merge one target adjacent edge after forced alignment into the other target adjacent edge to complete the merging process of the target discrete points, that is, complete the merging process of the discrete geometry on the edge. For the processing of the completely degenerate surface of the wing skin, the node distribution of the discrete grid in the process is: Refresh the discrete points (such as the wing leading edge nodes) on the virtual super edge to the same density to ensure a uniform aerodynamic grid.

[0073] Further, after completing the merging of the discrete geometry on the edge, perform a connection operation on the discrete geometry on the two surfaces, as follows Figure 6 shown, first fuse the corresponding boundary points of the two surfaces; then take one of the surfaces as the first surface, use the boundary grid on the first surface as the reference, take the other surface as the second surface, insert corresponding grid points in the discrete grid on the second surface and perform edge segmentation operations; then use the boundary grid on the second surface as the reference, insert corresponding grid points in the discrete grid on the first surface and perform edge segmentation operations; finally, suture the corresponding grid points of the first surface and the second surface to complete the update operation of the discrete grid data. At this point, the deletion operation of the completely degenerate surface is completed, the modification of the surrounding topological relationship is completed, and the update of the discrete geometry on the virtual surface is also completed.

[0074] Step S14: If the degenerate surface in the composite surface is a partially degenerate surface, the area where the partially degenerate surface is located is trimmed, and the trimmed area is converted into a completely degenerate surface, and the step of deleting the completely degenerate surface is executed.

[0075] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a partially degenerate surface. Among them, a partially degenerate surface refers to a surface where the distance between some boundaries inside the surface is extremely small, but the overall area is not much different from the surrounding surfaces. The trimming process of the area where the partially degenerate surface is located includes: calculating the distance information between the corresponding points of the candidate degenerate edges of the same partially degenerate surface under the same parameters to determine the boundary edge spacing of the candidate degenerate edges; if the boundary edge spacing is less than the preset edge margin tolerance, it is determined that the area between the candidate degenerate edges in the candidate degenerate surface is the area to be trimmed, and the area to be trimmed is trimmed. It can be understood that the area to be trimmed is first determined. Specifically, the boundary edges corresponding to the included angle values less than the preset included angle tolerance are found from each boundary edge in the partially degenerate surface as the candidate degenerate edges, and the distance between two candidate degenerate edges is calculated. The method for calculating the distance between two edges is as follows: calculate the distance between the discrete point pairs under the same parameter u between two candidate degenerate edges. u = 0 represents the head end of the edge, 1 represents the tail end of the edge, 0.5 represents the midpoint of the edge, and so on. The average distance between these distances is used as the boundary edge spacing between two candidate degenerate edges. Among them, the calculation formula for the boundary edge spacing of the candidate degenerate edge is as follows:

[0076] ;

[0077] Among them, represents the distance between the discrete point pairs on the th candidate degenerate edge, represents the number of discrete point pairs.

[0078] If the boundary edge spacing between two edges in a certain surface is less than the specified preset edge margin tolerance, the area to be trimmed is the area enclosed by these two edges. As Figure 8 shown, when the discrete point pair distance between the two candidate degenerate edges calculated based on the discrete point pairs and the candidate degenerate edge is calculated, and after the boundary edge spacing calculated based on is less than the specified preset edge margin tolerance, then the area enclosed by the two candidate degenerate edges and the candidate degenerate edge is the area to be trimmed.

[0079] Furthermore, as Figure 9 shown, judge the candidate degenerate edge Whether the length gap with the candidate degenerate edge is too large. Specifically, take the length difference between the candidate degenerate edge and the candidate degenerate edge as the target length. If the target length is greater than the preset length threshold, it is determined that the length gap between the two is too large, and then the long side needs to be segmented so that the length of the long side after cutting is almost the same as that of the short side. At this time, after cutting is updated to be connected to and has the same length as . Then, two boundary edges ( and the cut ) are removed from the current surface, and then the remaining edges are combined into a loop. Specifically, as shown in Figure 10 , after deleting edge ef and edge fg, the remaining edges de, gh, ha, ab, bd, de are combined into a loop. Among them, a new superpoint object m is generated during the process of combining into a loop to fuse endpoint e and endpoint g. In this way, edge de and edge gh will share an endpoint m, as shown in Figure 11 .

[0080] After cutting part of the degenerate surface, update the surrounding topological relationship, specifically as shown in Figure 12 . After cutting the part of the degenerate surface , the cut surface is the completely degenerate surface. Then, it will be processed and the adjacent relationship of the surrounding surfaces will be updated according to the processing method of the aforementioned completely degenerate surface. After the processing of the above steps, the topological relationship between the virtual surfaces is updated to maintain the correctness of the model topological relationship. At the same time, the discrete grids on the virtual surfaces are also updated correspondingly, so that the discrete grids on the processed virtual surfaces are also connected seamlessly to each other.

[0081] It can be seen that the present application discloses a method for processing degenerate surfaces of a CAD model, including: importing and repairing an initial CAD model, establishing a watertight mesh data structure to obtain a composite surface including continuous surfaces and discrete surfaces; identifying degenerate surfaces of the composite surface to obtain corresponding degenerate surface identification results; if the degenerate surface in the composite surface is a completely degenerate surface, deleting the completely degenerate surface and fusing the adjacent edges of the target patches adjacent to the completely degenerate surface, so as to perform boundary topology reconstruction and stitching of the discrete mesh data after reconstruction using the surface information after fusion to obtain a degenerate surface processing result; if the degenerate surface in the composite surface is a partially degenerate surface, performing a cutting process on the area where the partially degenerate surface is located, converting the cut area into a completely degenerate surface, and executing the step of deleting the completely degenerate surface. Thus, by repairing the initial CAD model and establishing a watertight mesh data structure, a composite surface including continuous surfaces and discrete surfaces can be obtained. In this way, by further processing the composite surface, the processing of virtual surface information can be realized, and the processing of degenerate surfaces can be realized without processing the original geometric information. Moreover, this solution identifies completely degenerate surfaces and partially degenerate surfaces, and then performs targeted processing on degenerate surfaces of different degenerate surface types, improving the quality of mesh generation, reducing the scale of mesh generation, and enhancing the accuracy and reliability of CAE analysis and calculation.
