简介

FreeCAD的实体建模能力都是基于 Open Cascade Technology (OCCT)内核——一种具有创建与处理高级3D几何体等特性的专业级CAD系统。零件工作台(Part Workbench)是一种建立于OCCT库之上的层级,为用户提供了访问OCCT几何图元与函数的功能。每种工作台(如底图工作台, 草图工作台, 零件设计工作台等等)的一切2D与3D绘制功能其实都是基于零件工作台暴露出的函数实现的。因此,可以认为零件工作台是FreeCAD建模功能的核心组件。

以零件工作台创建的对象相对简单;为了构建更为复杂的几何图形,可以为之运用布尔运算(并集与减运算)。此建模范式就是尽人皆知的构造实体几何 (CSG) 工作流程,它是早期CAD系统中所用的传统方法。另一方面,零件设计工作台(PartDesign Workbench)还提供了更为现代的工作流程来构建几何图形:它利用参数化方式来定义草图,再将其挤压成型为基本的实体对象,最后通过参数化变换(特征编辑)来修改模型,直到用户获取预期的最终模型为止。

零件对象比网格工作台(Mesh Workbench)创建的网格对象更为复杂,因为用户可以对前者执行更为高级的操作,如连续的布尔运算、修改历史与参数化处理。

零件工作台是最基础的层级,它为FreeCAD中的其他工作台暴露出OCCT的各种绘制函数

OCCT geometric concepts

In OpenCascade terminology, we distinguish between geometric primitives and topological shapes. A geometric primitive can be a point, a line, a circle, a plane, etc. or even some more complex types like a B-Spline curve or a surface. A shape can be a vertex, an edge, a wire, a face, a solid or a compound of other shapes. The geometric primitives are not made to be directly displayed on the 3D scene, but rather to be used as building geometry for shapes. For example, an edge can be constructed from a line or from a portion of a circle.

In summary, geometry primitives are "shapeless" building blocks, while topological shapes are the real objects built on them.

A complete list of all primitives and shapes refer to the OCC documentation (Alternative: sourcearchive.com) and search for Geom_* (for geometric primitives) and TopoDS_* (for shapes). There you can also read more about the differences between them. Please note that the official OCC documentation is not available online (you must download an archive) and is mostly aimed at programmers, not at end-users. But hopefully you'll find enough information to get started here.

The geometric types actually can be divided into two major groups: curves and surfaces. Out of the curves (line, circle, ...) you can directly build an edge, out of the surfaces (plane, cylinder, ...) a face can be built. For example, the geometric primitive line is unlimited, i.e. it is defined by a base vector and a direction vector while its shape representation must be something limited by a start and end point. And a box -- a solid -- can be created by six limited planes.

From an edge or face you can also go back to its geometric primitive counterpart.

Thus, out of shapes you can build very complex parts or, the other way round, extract all sub-shapes a more complex shape is made of.

脚本

参见: 零件脚本

零件模块中主要使用的数据结构为OpenCascade中的 BRep数据类型。几乎零件模块中的所有内容与对象类型都可在Python脚本中使用。这其中包括几何图元,如线段与圆形(或弧), 以及整个TopoShapes范畴,如顶点、边、连线、面、实体与组合对象。对于其中的每一种对象而言,都存在若干创建方法,而对于TopoShapes中的特定对象而言,还支持一些如布尔并集/差集/交集等高级操作。以FreeCAD脚本基础页面所述的方式来浏览零件模块中的内容,即可获悉更多详情。

示例

为了创建一条线条元素,可以切换至Python控制台并录入:

import Part,PartGui 
doc=App.newDocument()  
l=Part.LineSegment()
l.StartPoint=(0.0,0.0,0.0)
l.EndPoint=(1.0,1.0,1.0)
doc.addObject("Part::Feature","Line").Shape=l.toShape() 
doc.recompute()

让我们来逐步分析上述python示例:

import Part,PartGui
doc=App.newDocument()

加载零件模块并创建一个新文档

l=Part.LineSegment()
l.StartPoint=(0.0,0.0,0.0)
l.EndPoint=(1.0,1.0,1.0)

线条其实就是线段,因为它具有起点和终点。

doc.addObject("Part::Feature","Line").Shape=l.toShape()

这行代码为文档添加了一个零件对象类型,并为此对象的'Shape'属性设置为以线段进行形状表示。在此,关键是要理解我们通过几何图元(Part.LineSegment)创建了一个TopoShape(利用toShape()方法)。只有几何图形才能添加至文档中。在FreeCAD中,几何图元常用作几何图形的“基本组成结构”。

doc.recompute()

此句更新了文档。这为新零件对象的可视化表示做好了准备工作。

请注意,我们可以直接通过在构造函数中指定起点与终点来创建一条线段,例如 Part.LineSegment(point1,point2),或者正如我们此前的做法,在创建一条默认线段后再调整其属性。

以相似的方式来创建一个圆形:

import Part
doc = App.activeDocument()
c = Part.Circle() 
c.Radius=10.0  
f = doc.addObject("Part::Feature", "Circle")
f.Shape = c.toShape()
doc.recompute()

Note again, we used the circle (geometry primitive) to construct a shape out of it. We can of course still access our construction geometry afterwards, by doing:

s = f.Shape
e = s.Edges[0]
c = e.Curve

Here we take the shape of our object f, then we take its list of edges. In this case there will be only one because we made the whole shape out of a single circle, so we take only the first item of the Edges list, and we takes its curve. Every Edge has a Curve, which is the geometry primitive it is based on.
