Real-Time Simulation Feedback for Mechanical Model Building
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current techniques for rendering models often require multiple cycles of building, solving, and reviewing before identifying and correcting modeling deficiencies, leading to inefficiencies in the simulation process.
Innovation Solution
A computer-aided engineering simulation platform that allows users to see the impact of changes in real-time by generating and displaying solution data while the model is being built, using modules such as a model builder, solver, and solution display generator to provide incremental feedback and enable continuous validation and synchronization of data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the complete model is built before solving, then the solution accuracy is improved, but the time required to identify and correct errors increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the complete model into smaller fragments that can be solved independently. The fragment collector obtains specific portions of the model, and the solver processes these fragments separately to generate partial solution data, which is then integrated to form the complete solution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary solving on model fragments before the complete model is finalized. By solving fragments incrementally as they are created, the system allows early error detection and correction without waiting for the entire model to be complete.
2Productivity
If incremental solving of model fragments is implemented, then the productivity is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a fragment collector as an intermediary component between the model builder and the solver. This mediator collects model fragments, manages their organization, and coordinates with the solver to process them incrementally, thereby managing system complexity while enabling productive incremental solving.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms where solution data from fragments is continuously returned to the model builder. This feedback loop allows real-time validation of model fragments and enables corrective actions during the modeling process rather than after completion.
3Ease of operation
If real-time solution data is provided during model building, then the ease of operation is improved, but the loss of time for data processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by solving only the necessary model fragments that have been completed, rather than waiting for or processing the entire model. This approach provides sufficient feedback to the user during modeling without requiring excessive data processing of incomplete or unnecessary portions.
Data Source
AI summary
The model builder may generate a model object, and initiate the solver to determine whether the model object has constraints that effect the model object. The solver can generate solution data these constraints. The solver may pass any solution data it obtains to the solution display generator, so that the user can view the solution data while the user is building the model with the model builder.
