    Abstract: A system and method of interactive evaluation of a geometric model is provided. The method includes the steps of acquiring a haptic device position and orientation with respect to a surface of the geometric model and mapping the haptic device position and orientation into a geometric model coordinate reference system. The method also includes the steps of determining a closest point position and orientation on the surface of the geometric model to the haptic device position and extracting a surface property at the closest point position and orientation. The method further includes the steps of determining a stick-to-surface force and a property feedback force using the surface property at the closet point position and orientation and applying the stick-to-surface force and property feedback force to control a location and force output of the haptic device.

    Abstract: A method for correcting lens distortion in a photographic image used in texture mapping a CAD image uses a one-dimensional distortion correction curve. The photographic image is represented by an original texture image plane having a plurality of original points produced by a photographic device having a lens. The method has the steps of marking a plurality of data points in a predefined two-dimensional physical wall space and determining a wall space radial distance for each of the plurality of data points, taking a test photograph of the wall space with the photographic device, converting the test photograph to a digital two-dimensional image space, determine an image space radial distance for each of the plurality of data points in the image space, curve fitting the wall space radial distance and the corresponding image space radial distance pairs for each of the plurality of data points, and mapping each of the plurality of original points to a corresponding corrected point with the distortion correction curve so as to produce a corrected texture image plane having a plurality of corrected points.

    Abstract: A system and method for design of experiments (DOE) using direct surface manipulation of a mesh model. The method includes the steps of selecting a geometric model in a computer-aided design (CAD) format, converting the geometric model into a mesh model and evaluating the mesh model using a computer-aided engineering (CAE) analysis. The method also includes the steps of determining whether to continue generating the design of experiments response, and modifying a surface of the mesh model by varying a predetermined parameter, wherein the surface is modified using direct surface manipulation (DSM), the mesh model is updated and the updated mesh model is used in continuing generating the design of experiments response, if determined to continue the design of experiments. The method further includes the steps of using the results of the CAE analysis for the design of experiments.

    Abstract: An improved Direct Surface Manipulation (DSM) method is disclosed which incorporates a global surface reparametrization scheme for the purposes of extending the DSM method to applications involving multiple surfaces and for reducing the geometric effect of parametric space distortions on the features. This method reparametrizes multiple surface patches with a shared two-dimensional space defined in the object space of the model. The result is a geometrically consistent mesh, called a super-mesh, that serves as a global, uniform parametric space for topologically-disconnected, geometrically-disproportional surface patches. Spherical projection is employed to perform the patch reparametrization. This allows the creation of DSM features on multiple surface patches with improved shape quality.
