This research presented a strategy for designing a particular set of surfaces, obtained by the technique of cross-sectional design. The surfaces considered were formed by sliding a Bezier curve (profile curve), and also this research describes an automatic procedure for selective identification of sampling points in reverse engineering applications using Coordinate Measurement Machine. In addition, Matlab program have been used in the present work so as to plot the curve sections of the surfaces using transformation matrices. UGS program have been also used to connect the sections that designed in Matlab program to get the final shape of the proposed surface. It can be concluded that the whole steps task which built in the present research can be programmed in a single block of the part program that’s from it can be create any curve or surface at minimum designing time.
The universal motor, versatile and capable of running on both AC and DC sources, is utilized in various household appliances and power tools. This paper presents a featured methodology for analyzing a universal motor (UM) that does not have design data by extracting it via reverse engineering. These gained data were used to model the motor by Maxwell program and analyzing it by finite element method (FEM). Adopting the Maxwell program's drawing capability to design the square-shaped stator of a universal motor not part of the program library will also enable the Maxwell program to be widely used and unrestricted to use with particular motor designs. After modeling and solving the motor model, the performance characteristics of UM when operated with alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) power supplies were investigated. The UM simulation results were compared with test results with good agreement. The success of a proposed methodology paved the way for the analysis of any electric motor included in the Maxwell program, even if this motor does not have design data.
