## BIO
Computer Aided Design Projects: EasyBlank. (Group Members-2, Duration -12 months) The project involved developing an e-commerce based application to serve the mid-sized market. The purpose of the EasyBlank application is to calculate blank shapes from 3D CAD files of sheet metal stamped parts. The calculated blank shape is then nested and optimized into a coil layout, estimating material costs for sheet metal tooling projects. It uses a one step solver to calculate the formability of complex 3D part designs into flat patterns. Responsibilities: Design of system architecture, user interface, marshalling of the autoform legacy code to .NET compatibility code, using C#OpenGL for graphic display of CAD parts, solver results. Feature Detection. (Duration – In Progress) Automatic feature detection is done on CAD geometries using curvature analysis. Laplacian Gauss curvature analysis is used on discretized CAD geometry to detect line features like holes and patch features like edges, flanges etc. In the current project, automatic feature detection is being used to estimate costs for the entire process obtaining such a feature. Geometry Organizer. (Duration – In Progress) Similarity search in database systems is becoming an increasingly important task in modern application domains such as multimedia, molecular biology, medical imaging, CAD and many others. With fast evolving resources for 3D objects, new techniques, so-called similarity models to efficiently and effectively search for these 3D objects become indispensable. Geometry organizer would serve this purpose of finding similar geometries for a given 3D query geometry. Computer Aided Engineering Projects: Underground Fluid Storage Structures Analysis. (Duration -4 months) The analysis of Underground fluid storage structures subjected to different types of stresses is performed using the concepts of finite element method techniques. Object oriented programming concepts are used to build the finite elements for calculating the system and element matrices and vectors which are useful in finite element analysis of this system. A GUI tool is constructed in VC++ using MFC’s to communicate all the complicated and voluminous information produced in the finite element analysis in a simple and effective manner. Finite Element Analysis Package. (Duration -6 months) This project is a part of the course work during the second and third semesters of the Masters program. The project mainly deals with the implementation of finite element analysis system as a processing module. The finite elements are formulated based on the three fundamental equations of mechanics for the problems of interest and integrated into the processing unit as subroutines. The analytic approach is used as the benchmark for well known problems to validate the results of the processing unit and to make the validation process more intuitive, a post processing unit has been implemented using visualization tools, wherein the results from the processing unit are displayed for further analysis.
