Research on the Computer Simulation Technique of Cylindrical Centerless Grinding Process

Animation design for computer simulation technique of cylindrical centerless grinding process is proposed based on analysis on the processing character of centerless grinding and the techniques of computer simulation. 3DS file and model structures are applied to reconstruct the simulation model of the centerless grinding. Two-dimension animated simulation for the grinding process is realized combining OpenGL technology which is used to present three dimensional appearance changing of workpiece during processing. Testing on the system show that the simulation system presented in the paper has good real-time performance, friendly interactivity and ability to simulate two or three dimensional animation in practice.
