PARAMETRIC APPROACH TO THREE-DIMENSIONAL COMPUTER SIMULATION OF GEOMETRIC ORNAMENTS

Abstract

Due to increased competition in the market for goods, factors of design, aesthetic appeal and cost reduction are playing an ever-increasing role in their manufacture. For new products, careful and versatile design development of the general forms of objects and their details, techniques and methods for geometric ornamentation of surfaces is necessary. The ornament has become an independent element of art, which lives its own life, develops and becomes more complicated, its elements are distributed in various sectors of the economy. Historically, ornaments were created and transferred to products manually, which was determined by the method of their production − this work was very painstaking and timeconsuming. The use of modern methods of computer-aided design and manufacturing of industrial products can significantly simplify the introduction of ornaments in various forms of decor. Geometric computer modeling allows you to solve a large number of different practical problems in almost all areas of human activity. For the implementation of our tasks, the Autodesk Inventor program was used, which, thanks to the parameterization, the presence of reflection commands, the construction of rectangular arrays, arrays in a circle and along a path, became a very effective tool that will allow a new approach to the design and modeling of technical products, in particular, those that contain ornaments of different types. The use of a computer program such as Autodesk Inventor with three-dimensional parametric elements, in our opinion, can significantly simplify the development of structures containing ornament elements, speed up the analysis of the selected geometry and its preliminary evaluation using prototype manufacturing using 3D printing methods. The purpose of this work is to develop and test computer modeling algorithms, transform and reproduce using Inventor, ornamental elements in the traditional style of decorative art, including through convenient parameter management methods.
