French to English: CAD model--Bezier triangle Detailed field: Mathematics & Statistics
Source text - French 2. Reconstruction du modèle CAO à partir des résultats éléments finis : Algorithme général développé
2.1. Utilité de la reconstruction
La reconstruction du modèle CAO à partir des résultats de l’analyse Éléments Finis [Dhatt 81] [Batoz 90] est devenu de plus en plus importante en conception intégrée, notamment pour la simulation en temps réel des processus de conception et/ou fabrication de produit mécanique (simulation du processus d’emboutissage par exemple). En effet, lorsque l’on simule un comportement élasto-plastique d’une pièce dans un mécanisme ou bien un contact entre deux pièces, les déformations permanentes inhérentes à ces études entraînent une déformation du maillage qui peut devenir non valide ou de mauvaise qualité. La convergence de la solution numérique est alors bloquée parce que les données ne sont plus valides (Fig. 1.). Pour mener l’étude à son terme, le maillage doit être recalculé entre certaines étapes de la simulation. Autour des déformations permanentes, non seulement le maillage doit être recalculé mais les conditions aux limites doivent aussi être repositionnées sur la nouvelle forme du modèle. Dans un contexte de conception intégrée, les conditions aux limites sont saisies sur le modèle CAO, c’est pourquoi les déformations du modèle éléments finis doivent être transmises au modèle CAO pour repositionner les conditions aux limites.
Translation - English 2. Reconstruction of the CAD model from the results of finite elements : General algorithm developed
2.1. Utility of the reconstruction
The reconstruction of the CAD model from the results of Finite Element analysis [Dhatt 81] [Batoz 90] has become more and more important in integrated design, notably by the simulation in real time of the design process and/or the manufacture of a mechanical product (cupping process simulation, for example). In fact, when one simulates an elastic-plastic behaviour of a part in a mechanism or a contact between two parts, the permanent deformations inherent in these studies bring about a deformation of the mesh which can become not valid or of poor quality. The convergence of the numeric solution is then blocked because the data are no longer valid (Fig 1.). To conclude the study, the mesh must be recalculated between certain stages of the simulation. Around the permanent deformations, not only the mesh must be recalculated but the conditions at the limits must also be repositioned on the new version of the model. Within a context of integrated design, the conditions at the limits are captured on the CAD model, and for that reason, the deformations of the finite element model must be transmitted to the CAD model in order to reposition the boundary conditions.

3. OBLIGATIONS DE NON-CONCURRENCE
3.1 Compte tenu de la vulnérabilité de ABC à des dommages qu'il peut lui
causer, l'employé convient que, tant qu'il sera à l'emploi de ABC et par
la suite, dans les trois années de la date de la cessation de l'emploi et
ce, dans un rayon de 100 kilomètres du siège social de ABC, l'employé,
directement ou indirectement, ne pourra faire concurrence à ABC ni
participer à quelque titre que ce soit à une entreprise qui lui ferait
concurrence en travaillant dans le champ de compétence pour lequel il est ou
fut à l'emploi de ABC.
3.2 Compte tenu des intérêts de l'employé, dans l'éventualité ou la
cessation d'emploi de l'employé pour ABC serait attribuable à une cause
autre qu'une faute de l'employé mais excluant le départ volontaire de
l'employé, notamment une mise à pieds par ABC pour manque de travail ou
la cessation de ses activités par ABC, les clauses 2.1, 2.2 et 3.1
ci-dessus seraient réputées nulles et non avenues;
3.3 L'employé reconnaît que la clause ci-dessus ne restreint pas indûment sa
liberté de travailler et d'ainsi gagner sa vie.
Translation - English 3. OBLIGATIONS OF NON-COMPETITION
3.1 In consideration of the vulnerability of ABC to the damages that could be brought about by such an activity, the employee promises that, during the term of his employment and for a period of three (3) years after the end of that term, within a radius of 100 kilometres of the headquarters of ABC, the employee, directly or indirectly, will neither compete with ABC nor participate in any capacity whatsoever in an enterprise that could compete with ABC by working in the field of competence for which he is or was employed by ABC.
3.2 In consideration of the interests of the employee, in the event that the termination of employment by ABC be attributable to a cause other than a fault of the employee but excluding the voluntary departure of the employee, notably a layoff by ABC for reasons of lack of work or the cessation of activities by ABC, clauses 2.1, 2.2, and 3.1 above shall be deemed null and void;
3.3 The employee recognizes that the above clause does not unduly restrain his freedom to work and to thereby earn a living.
