Patent number: 8983801Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for transforming a CAD model of an object between engineering states includes generating a first reference geometry to represent a first engineering state. A parametric CAD model of the object may be generated to represent the object in the first engineering state by constructing the parametric CAD model as having dependence on the first reference geometry. A second reference geometry may be generated to represent a second engineering state. The parametric CAD model may be regenerated to represent the object in the second engineering state by replacing the first reference geometry with the second reference geometry.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2009Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Vought Aircraft Industries, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Kurt Schneider, Randolph Henry Zalesak
