Abstract
Design features refer to local shapes or regions within a part that perform specific functions such as fastening and force transmission. These design features must be identified from product design results to conduct design verification, manufacturing evaluation, and process planning. Design features are formed by combining various form features, which poses a challenge when using existing methods to retrieve individual features. Therefore, this study introduced a relational descriptor that describes the relational characteristics between topological elements to retrieve design features in boundary representation (B-rep) models. In addition, a method to retrieve design features by combining the relational descriptor with shape descriptors was proposed. Experiments were performed to identify specific design features to validate the proposed method. The experimental results successfully retrieved all the design features included in the B-rep model.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Engineering Informatics is an international Journal that solicits research papers with an emphasis on 'knowledge' and 'engineering applications'. The Journal seeks original papers that report progress in applying methods of engineering informatics. These papers should have engineering relevance and help provide a scientific base for more reliable, spontaneous, and creative engineering decision-making. Additionally, papers should demonstrate the science of supporting knowledge-intensive engineering tasks and validate the generality, power, and scalability of new methods through rigorous evaluation, preferably both qualitatively and quantitatively. Abstracting and indexing for Advanced Engineering Informatics include Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus and INSPEC.
