AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies lack sufficient accuracy in identifying contact relationships between entities in 3D digital models, have limited information dimensions in analysis results, low automation, bottlenecks in computational efficiency, and are difficult to apply across platforms. Furthermore, the geotechnical engineering modeling process is fragmented and suffers from poor geometric consistency.
A B-Rep-based boundary representation method is adopted to acquire boundary representation data of 3D scene, construct spatial index structure, identify potential contact entity pairs, perform face-to-face geometric intersection determination, calculate contact area, construct contact relationship network, and output structured results.
It improves the accuracy and automation of contact relationships, reduces computational complexity, enables seamless data transfer across platforms, supports advanced applications such as physical simulation and quantity surveying, and simplifies the modeling process for geotechnical engineering.
