  • Surface mesh generation systems and methods
    Patent number: 8970590
    Abstract: A method for generating a finite element mesh that includes receiving, by a computer system, data regarding a model of a simulated object, categorizing one or more geometric features of the model and dividing the one or more geometric features of the model into surface shapes based on the data regarding the model. The method includes generating a mesh for each surface shape; and interconnecting the generated mesh to form a mesh for the model.

  • Directed design updates in engineering methods for systems
    Patent number: 8942963
    Abstract: A system or method includes a simulated model that has a plurality of simulated components, the plurality of components are arranged in a component hierarchical graph such that the combination of the simulated components forms the simulated model. The system includes an inference engine configured to generate one or more redesign recommendations for a component in the simulated model based on redesign recommendation rules. The system may include a display generator for displaying the redesign recommendations to a first user.
