Chapter 10 3D solid modelling in assembly and analysis

DOI: 10.1201/9781003288626-10

10.1 Introduction

Having assimilated and grasped the techniques involved in solid modelling from boundary representation (B-Rep) and extrusions, solids of revolution to constructive solid geometry (CSG) in general, it is now important to put these to practical applications. This chapter will focus on two case studies, the first of which will be presented in the form of a tutorial, a step-by-step worked-out example for a wheel base assembly that consists of several components of different materials such as steel cast, bronze and mild steel. The tutorial will guide users, not only on how to model the various solid elements and put them together in an assembly ...
