  • Method and apparatus for finite analysis pre-processing
    Patent number: 9996642
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for finite analysis pre-processing may include (1) receiving a processing request that identifies a geometries within a design space and a finite analysis pre-processing operation to be performed thereon, (2) determining an interface that is common to a first geometry and a second geometry of the geometries, and (3) conducting the finite analysis pre-processing operation on at least the interface between the first geometry and the second geometry previous to concurrently conducting the finite analysis pre-processing operation on an unprocessed portion of the first geometry and an unprocessed portion of the second geometry. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed herein.

  • CONCURRENT DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF AN ENGINEERING OBJECT
    Publication number: 20150199454
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for concurrent design and analysis of an engineering object may include (1) storing a geometric model of an engineering object, the geometric model including control points and analysis nodes derived from the control points, (2) enabling an analysis user to view the geometric model and perform analysis operations on analysis nodes, (3) enabling a CAD user to view the geometric model and edit a control point, and (4) updating the view of the geometric model provided to the CAD user and the analysis user according to the edit performed on the control point. Various other methods and systems are also disclosed herein.
