3D Modeling
3D Modeling Snapshot
•Since Mid 1980’s become common place in industry
Software Types •Wireframe (AutoCAD)
•Surface Modelers (CATIA) Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG)
Boundary Representation Modeler (BMR or B-REP)
•Hybrid Modelers (CATIA/ Solid Works)

Wireframe Modeler Two types of elements defined
Points (Vertices)
Lines (Edges)
Surfaces (Faces) Theoretically created
Pros & Cons
of
Wireframe Modelers •Simple to adapt from 2D software
•Less Memory required
•Less Processing Power needed
•Cost less
•Ambiguity

3
Which of these is the correct representation of a
solid from the wireframe model?
CSG- Constructive Solid Geometry •Allows flexibility in both how primitives are defined and combined
What are these
operations called?
Boolean
3 Types
Union (U)
Difference (-)
Intersection (∩)
What does Solid works
call them?
•Join
•Cut
•Intersection
Does it matter what
order we do them in?

Primitives using CSG modeling
Boundary Representation (B-REP) •Surfaces or faces define solid
•Contain both linear and curved edges
•Use faceted representation due to size of models

5
Surface Modeler Two types of elements used to define surfaces
Points (Vertices)
Lines (Edges)
Actual Surfaces are created
Hybrid Modeler •Use combination of CSG and B-REP features (CATIA/ Solid Works)
Solid Modeling •Include Volume
(weight)
•Apply materials and
analyze

Most common
techniques:
•Sweeping
•Revolving
•Lofting
With a partner take out a piece of paper and sketch how you
would model a boomerang.
Sweeping •Need Profile (2DSketch or Directrix)
•Direction (Along 3D sketch (path) or Generatrix)
What is our directrix in our boomerang?
Genaratrix?
Directrix-2D
Genaratrix- used to generate 3D

7
Generalized Sweeps (Extrude) 2 things needed
Closed profile & Direction
What is needed for the oblique sweep?
Closed profile & path
Revolved Sweeps 2 things needed
Closed profile & Axis
Revolving •Need closed Profile (Sketch)
•Axis

8
Lofting •Need 2 or more Profiles (Sketch or Directrix)
•Direction (Along Generatrix or Spine)
What is our directrix in our dryer
housing?
Genaratrix?
Surface Patch •Contains 4 connected Bezier Curves
•Controlled by 12 points

Division of parts made up
of more than one surface •Trimmed
•Continuity
•Merging
Continuity
Merged
Divisions of
Continuity A- Discontinuous- has
holes or gaps
B- Positional- Share
boundary
C- Tangent- Smooth
Transition
D- Continuous curvature-
no noticeable transition

Options to define plane •Through
•Offset/ Parallel
•Angle/ reference
•Point or Edge and Orientation
•Tangent and Orientation
How would you create this?
Constraining Profiles 2 Types of Constraints
•Geometrical (Implicit)
•Dimensional (Explicit)

Duplicating Part Features Linear and Radial Arrays
What is the main reason for solid modeling software?
Assemblies Hierarchical approach
Network Approach- Toolbox in Solid Works
Instances

13
The Goal in Assemblies is to control the degrees
of freedom the product can move
How many degrees of freedom does every object have?
Constraint options:
Surface
Coincident
Offset
Why Solid Modeling? Kinematics
Movement Paths
Clash Detection
