Patents by Inventor Chikara KONGO

Chikara KONGO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11520945
    Abstract: A modeling support system stores a combination of a CAD model and a mesh model corresponding to the CAD model; recognizes a shape indicated by the CAD model; and classifies respective parts of the stored CAD model into one of a plurality of groups. The modeling support system also specifies component parts of an input CAD model and specifies groups corresponding to the specified component parts from the specified groups. A similar-shape-model search unit searches and obtains the part of the CAD model having a shape most similar to the shape indicated by the specified component part, from the part of the CAD model in the specified groups. Further, a mesh model generating unit obtains a mesh model corresponding to the obtained part of the CAD model, from the stored mesh model, and generates a new mesh model.

  • Publication number: 20160364908
    Abstract: An analysis model creation assistance device comprises a mesh data registration unit for registering a mesh data which has been already divided into meshes for a simulation in a mesh database, a CAD data registration unit for registering a CAD data corresponding to the mesh data in a CAD database, and a usable mode extractor for registering a mesh data corresponding to a data on mesh members excluding a mesh member of a largest size in a usable model database as a usable mesh.
