Thesis Project
As a thesis student, you will be supported by your Tutor in order to analyse and develop the following thesis project about:
• What is Tolerance Chain Analysis (TCA) and why visualize it in Virtual Reality;
• Understand the fundamentals of Autodesk VRED as a virtual visualization platform;
• Explore the available programming interfaces and scripting techniques in VRED (e.g. Python API, VRED nodes, custom UI integration);
• Analyse the structure and functionalities of the VRED NVIZ plugin and its role within the visualization pipeline;
• Develop a custom VRED plugin to automate current manual operations, including the implementation of data conformity checks and validation routines;
• Design and develop interactive tools in Virtual Reality to support the exploration and interpretation of tolerance chain analysis results.
