Developing a method of virtual modelling of danger zones for assisted selection of protective systems at the stage of designing machinery and production systems

Project manager: Marek Dźwiarek Ph.D. (Eng.), D.Sc. (Eng.)

Project summary:

The aim of the project was to develop a technique of virtual modelling (understood as modelling in a virtual reality) of danger zones for assisting selection of protective systems at the stage of designing machinery and production systems. The scope of the project included developing the principles of modelling danger zones and protective devices using a virtual model of a machine and the principles of integrating those models with a system of interactive communication with the user in a virtual reality. This resulted in an improvement in the currently used methods of virtual prototyping of machinery with additional functions assisting in selecting protective systems and an assessment of their efficiency.The final result of the project consisted in- virtual models of protective devices for implementing in databases of objects for constructing virtual models of machines and production systems and to be used in a virtual environment for simulating production processes;- software for visualizing danger zones when creating a virtual prototype of a machine or a production systems.
