Aiming at the problem of abstract and polytype information modeling in product conceptual design, a method of conceptual modeling based on logical expression and evolvement is presented. Based on the logic expressions of the product conceptual design information, a fimction/logic/strucmre mapping model is set up. First, the fimction semantics is transformed into logical expressions through fimction/logic mapping. Second, the methods of logical evolvement are utilized to describe the fimction analysis, fimction/strucmre mapping and structure combination. Last, the logical structure scheme is transformed into geometrical sketch through logic/structure mapping. The conceptual design information and modeling process are described uniformly with logical methods in the model, and an effective method for computer aided conceptual design based on the model is implemented.
A unilateral non-penetration constraint dynamical simulation model withfriction is constructed based on compliant model for mechanical system VP (virtual prototyping)simulation. This model combines computer graphics with multi-body system dynamics. It avoidshandling multiplicity of solution, such as cases of no solution, multi-solution brought about byfriction during traditional construction of non-penetration constraint based on rigid model. At thesame time, the realism of VE (virtual environment) is improved in process of simulation.Furthermore, the valid condition of rolling and sliding unilateral contact is constituted based onsingular perturbation and linear complementary theory. Finally, the compliant method is verified byan interaction between a multi-legged robot and VE.
