  2. Presentation Overview • Team Introduction • Project Overview • Requirements • Development Methodology • Social Impact

  3. Who We Are • Charlie Darney (Team Leader) • Alex Kates • John Connor • Shaw Levin • David Breen (Academic Advisor - Drexel) • Kurt Swanson (SME – Drexel) • Ken Brakke (SME – Susquehanna)

  4. Project Overview • Graphical User Interface for creating liquid-based models • Complex geometric objects • Solid phase • Already covered by CAD • Liquid phase • New functionality

  5. Project Overview • Physics-Based Modeler performs surface evolution • Integration to VX software

  6. Requirements • Developed as an add-on module for VX CAD • Functionality accessed via a new toolbar • VX CAD is used to specify the base geometry of an object and define boundary conditions

  7. Requirements • Toolbar contains the following functionality: • New • Opens up a new window to allow the user to define specifications and generation procedure • Run • Starts and displays the evolution process • Stop • Halts the evolution

  8. Requirements • Toolbar contains the following functionality: • Rewind • Steps backwards through the evolution process • Export • Saves the progress of the evolution into a selected format • Restore • Returns the evolved liquid object to the normal VX CAD workspace.

  9. Development Methodology Agile

  10. Development Methodology • Version Control • Continuous Integration • Issue Tracking

  11. Development Methodology • SVN • Hudson • Trac

  12. Development Methodology

  13. SocialImpact • Model generated in standard CAD system • PBM included as utility used to model more complex, biological forms • Improves user experiencereduces need for in depth-knowledge • Broad range of uses

  14. SocialImpact Life Sciences • Personalization • Speed • Improved Results

  15. SocialImpact Architecture • Faster development of curved facades • Opens design possibilities to broader range of creators

  16. SocialImpact Robotics • Current joints are pin and cylindrical. • New system allows for replication of human joints. • More lifelike and versatile.

  17. SocialImpact Micro-Biological • Modeling of virus and protein structure • These surfaces are natural products of PBM

  18. SocialImpact • Competition / Implementation • Many companies for CAD software and for PBM. • PBM companies are very industry specific. • CAD companies provide platform for introduction. • VX first, then broader market
