Project Overview
• Graphical User Interface for creating liquid-based models
• Complex geometric objects– Solid phase
• Already covered by CAD
– Liquid phase• New functionality
Page 5
Project Overview
• Physics-Based Modeler performs surface evolution
• Integration to VX software
Page 6
Requirements
• Developed as an add-on module for VX CAD
• Functionality accessed via a new toolbar
• VX CAD is used to specify the base geometry of an object and define boundary conditions
Page 7
Requirements
• Toolbar contains the following functionality:– New
• Opens up a new window to allow the user to define specifications and generation procedure
– Run• Starts and displays the
evolution process
– Stop• Halts the evolution
Page 8
Requirements
• Toolbar contains the following functionality:– Rewind
• Steps backwards through the evolution process
– Export• Saves the progress of the
evolution into a selected format
– Restore• Returns the evolved liquid
object to the normal VX CAD workspace.

Social Impact
•Model generated in standard CAD system
•PBM included as utility used to model more complex, biological forms
•Improves user experiencereduces need for in depth-knowledge
•Broad range of uses
Page 14
Social Impact
•Personalization
•Speed
•Improved Results
Life Sciences
Page 15
Social Impact
•Faster development of curved facades
•Opens design possibilities to broader range of creators
Architecture
Page 16
Social Impact
•Current joints are pin and cylindrical.
•New system allows for replication of human joints.
•More lifelike and versatile.
Robotics
Page 17
Social Impact
•Modeling of virus and protein structure
•These surfaces are natural products of PBM
Micro-Biological
Page 18
Social Impact
•Competition / Implementation
•Many companies for CAD software and for PBM.
•PBM companies are very industry specific.
•CAD companies provide platform for introduction.
•VX first, then broader market
