摘要: The disclosed methods and systems allow adding constraints (“mates”) between components of the CAD model when in a graphics mode (i.e., when bodies of the CAD model are not loaded). Information regarding CAD model entities is accessed from a computer database, where the CAD model entities belong to one or more components of the subject CAD model. A graphical representation of the subject CAD model is presented to a user without loading bodies of the subject CAD model. The user is enabled to add a constraint between first and second entities of the subject CAD model, and information for the added constraint is stored with the subject CAD model in the computer database. Displaying the model in graphics mode saves time as well as memory usage, and the added constraints persistent after resolving the components from the graphics mode.

摘要: 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.
