Abstract

At present, the innovation and development of industrial technology increasing demand for high reliability and high quality, maintainability design and verification has become an indispensable research field in the process of equipment design. Because of affecting the efficiency and completeness of maintenance operations, visual occlusion has become a key factor in maintainability design. At present, virtual maintenance technology has been able to simulate the process of equipment maintenance in the virtual space, in order to discover equipment design defects in advance. However, the current researches focus on the evaluation of visual occlusion by using maintenance criteria and expert experience. Subjective judgment and non-automation are the two major problems limiting the development of the visibility design. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a visual occlusion obstacle detection model based on finite element analysis in virtual environment. The model achieves visual occlusion obstacle detection through the Secondary development of DELMIA (Digital Enterprise Learn Manufacturing Interactive Application) software, which is widely used for maintainability evaluation. By combining finite element analysis and the mathematical model of visual occlusion obstacle detection algorithm, the model achieve the automatic and parametric evaluation. In addition, a case is conducted and verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
