  • Patent number: 8473266
    Abstract: In a method for simulating a physical property of a component model in the form of a computer accessible construction model of a technical structure, a mesh of a component model is automatically generated. The component model is first described by a fine mesh of finite elements, and, based on the fine mesh, the natural oscillation behavior of the component model is determined. Based on the natural oscillation behavior, at least one area of the component model is determined, whose finite elements are less deformed than those of another area of the component model. The determined area of the component model is then described by a coarser mesh of finite elements.

  • Patent number: 8229714
    Abstract: A method for simulating a physical property of a component model comprising a computer accessible construction model of a technical structure, by automatically generating a mesh of a component model. The component model is first described by a fine mesh of finite elements, and, based on the fine mesh, a fine natural frequency of the component model is determined. The component model is then described by a coarse mesh of finite elements, and based on the coarse mesh, a coarse natural frequency of the component model is determined. In this context, for example, the deviation of the coarse natural frequency from the fine natural frequency is used as a measure for the quality of the coarse mesh.
