Project Organization


Many motion problems cannot be resolved by mental vizualisation or paper mock-up manipulations. The objective of MOLOG is to enlarge the scope of existing CAD systems via the integration of a motion design technology in the framework of the logistics engineering of industrial installation:
- bulky environments
- time constraints
- space constraints (forbidden zones)
- kinematic constraints (vehicles, cranes)

Using a CAD system, every bit of motion must be checked for collisions and kinematic correctness (a heavy load on users).

Example of 3D design of an industrial installation


Expected results are :

- new algorithms for collision checking between components of a 3D CAD system, motion planning in complex plants and handling planning.

- a software library of generic functions for motion in several CAD's environments.

- integration of softwares in the 3D CAD PDMS tool in order to test them by users: EDF and in industrial world via the PRUG (PDMS and Review User's Group).
