  • Patent number: 10379620
    Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to generate, in a simulation space, a rectangular parallelepiped surrounding a target part among a plurality of parts. The target part is taken by a human body. The rectangular parallelepiped has surfaces in contact with a maximum outer shape of the target part. The processor is configured to identify, among the surfaces of the generated rectangular parallelepiped, surfaces other than a surface in contact with a part different from the target part, and select combinations of two surfaces among the identified surfaces. The processor is configured to identify, among the selected combinations, a combination which satisfies a condition that a vector from a point of a first finger to a point of a second finger penetrates the rectangular parallelepiped when the two surfaces in the combination are taken by the two fingers. The two fingers are included in the human body.

  • Publication number: 20110202318
    Abstract: A dividing unit 12 divides each of a plurality of component parts each represented by a three-dimensional polygon model into surfaces forming a periphery of the component part. A surface information creation unit 13 creates information of a contour of each of the surfaces obtained by the division by the dividing unit 12 as information relating to the surface. A surface interference determination unit 14 determines presence/absence of an interference state by selecting two component parts having possibility of interference and comparing contours of surfaces obtained from the selected component parts. The surface interference determination unit 14 performs the determination by sequentially changing the combination of component parts, thereby enabling the three-dimensional interference determination while suppressing memory consumption.

  • Patent number: 7869059
    Abstract: A height-limited-area-information creating device creates a clip plane on a base plane of a printed circuit board, and sets a view so that an image faces the base plane and a normal to the base plane represents a depth direction of the image. According to the view, a three-dimensional image of a chassis-side component is created. The base plane is divided into unit areas, and one of the unit areas is selected. Coordinates of vertices of the selected unit area are transformed to screen coordinates to acquire a component and a polygon at the position of the screen coordinates. Distances from respective four vertices to the polygon are calculated as height, and a minimum value is determined as a maximum height for the unit area.
