Generating corrected, more realistic geometry data for simulation purposes using 3D surface detection methods
The aim of this subproject is the integration of real existing manufacturing deviations (e. g. spring back or casting warpage) in simulation models, as far as they have a relevant influence on the accuracy of the results of performed simulations. The actual deviations are detected by high-precision optical scanning methods. Therefore, suitable real components are selected together with the collaborating industrial partners.
During the project term the complexity of the parts is increased. With a comparison of the generated real geometry data to the ideal model, design during the virtual product development, a corrected model is generated, which contains the relevant deviations and is capable for simulation. This is accomplished on the basis of a knowledge base and appropriate procedures in the CAD system, which is based on area comparison and a section-wise revision of the initial model.
