Abstract  Virtual wiring is presented by adopting virtual prototyping technology in the problems of electro-mechanical product cable wiring. The first step of this method is to establish information of product virtual prototyping, cable connection table, cable interface, cable material, intersection parameter. Based on the above information and regulation of cable wiring, the second step is to layout hoop's location and cable route path, and then to calculate cable length by utilizing virtual prototyping technology's support on visualization and human-computer interaction. And then through particle system simulation, cable's form is obtained and corresponding cable model is generated. On the basis of discussing electro-mechanical product cable wiring and its solving method, this paper focuses on the key technology of information model and virtual wiring of electro-mechanical product. Finally, feasibility of this method is demonstrated through an illustration.

基于虚拟样机和粒子系统仿真技术的虚拟布线方法

将虚拟样机技术应用于机电产品电缆布线问题,提出了虚拟布线方法。该方法首先根据设计方案建立产品虚拟样机、电缆连接列表、电缆接口、电缆材料、截面参数等信息,基于上述信息以及电缆布线规范,利用虚拟样机技术对可视化和人机交互能力的支持规划出卡箍位置和电缆路径,进而计算电缆长度,在此基础上利用粒子系统仿真技术计算电缆形状,据此生成相应的电缆模型。在探讨了机电产品电缆布线问题及其求解思路的基础上,着重研究了机电产品的信息模型及虚拟布线的关键技术。通过一个实例证明了该方法的可行性。
