Abstract: Improved CAD systems provide automatic generation of simplified and defeatured versions of complex 3D CAD models. The systems receive a 3D model representing a real-world object as an assembly. The model is formed of the assembly, plural components, and features. In response to user command, the systems select one or more components of the plural components. The systems apply a simplification operation to the selected one or more components. The simplification operation derives a simplified geometric entity (e.g., box, cylinder, solid 3D polygonal outline, or solid 3D tight fit outline) by projecting at least one silhouette outline that encloses the selected one or more components. The at least one projected silhouette outline excludes features of the selected one or more components from graphical view. The systems generate a simplified model from the derived simplified geometric entity. The systems may use the generated simplified model to replace components in 3D models.

Abstract: A system and method automatically repairs a reference corresponding to a missing constraint of a tessellated component feature in a computer aided drafting (CAD) environment. A first component is identified where the reference indicates the missing component feature belongs. A solid or surface body of the first component is identified. A candidate replacement feature of the first solid or surface body is identified. The candidate replacement feature is compared with the missing feature. If the candidate comparison meets a predetermined criteria, the missing constraint reference is replaced with a reference to the candidate replacement feature.
