Latest Patents

The provided information lists one patent for Ohji: “Morphing Method for Structure Shape, Its Computer Program, and Computer-Readable Storage Medium.” The invention describes a computer-based process for creating a finite element method (FEM) model of a new vehicle using an existing vehicle’s FEM model as a prototype. The computer establishes corresponding reference points on the outlines of the two vehicle models, deforms the prototype’s mesh to match the new vehicle’s shape, and transfers relevant additional information and associated states to the deformed mesh. This process produces an FEM model for the new vehicle.

Career Highlights

Ohji’s listed patent reflects work in vehicle engineering and computer-aided structural modeling. The method is designed to reuse information from an existing vehicle model when developing a model for a new vehicle.
