The Discussion About The Application Of Three-Dimensional Design In The Industry Of The Hydraulic Engineering

The prominent achievement of the computer aided design (CAD) technique is the speedy development of the three-dimensional design technique and the update of the designing thought which it brings. Now, the Three-Dimensional CAD is extensively applied in each field of the engineering design. Its application shortens the design cycle, cuts the design cost, and avoids wasting and postponement caused by design error.It expatiates the significance, the develop course and the direction of the three-dimensional design, compares the characteristic and the differences of the 3D design softwares which are popular in and out of home now. Making 3D modeling and FEA analysis of the complex engineering, takes the double-level intake tower as an example, uses the Part and Assembly functions to accomplish the 3D model, introduces the appliance of CATIA software to the 3D design of the project. The key technologies of 3D modeling are studied. Based on this, completes the model introducing to ANSYS, realizes the united use of the CATIA and the ANSYS, at the same time, it realizes kinds of assistant functions, for example: the two dimensional draft-out, the quantity calculation of project, rebar frame drawing, clash check, generate postil and so on.Making use of 3D design, building the 3D structure straightly, can reflect the space form authentically and describe the space relation, can exhibit the design outcome before the construction, make sure the rationality. Also the method of uniting the softwares can make the full use of the strongpoint of each soft, supply powerful facility to the complex design, engender grand economical and social benefit, so it has favorable foreground. At present the 3D design has infiltrated into every walk of life, so it is viable to introduce the mature technique into the industry of department of hydraulic engineering.
