The article considers the influence of the surface geometry of a detail on the deposition of coating thickness in the simulation of electroplating processes. The methods for obtaining sets of points describing the surface of a detail are analyzed. Solving the inverse problem (recovering the 3D surface of a detail according to its 2D drawings) is the most promising method. The inverse problem solution is decomposed into simpler geometric problems: input data processing; obtaining primitives; obtaining the desired surface of a detail by applying logical operations to primitives. Mathematical statements are formulated and solution algorithms are proposed for solving these problems. The inverse problem solution is implemented through software. The distribution of the nickel coating thickness is shown for a detail, the surface of which is obtained by solving the inverse problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
