A simplified geometric model with lower dimensionality, such as a mid-surface model, is
often preferred over a detailed solid model for the analysis process, if the analysis results …

While many systems and standards like CAD systems or CityGML permit the user to
represent the geometry and the semantics of building interior models, their use for …

Abstraction of mid-surfaces from solid models of thin-walled parts is becoming a useful
function for idealizing the solid models for engineering analysis. Various abstraction …

In order to set up a framework dedicated to the transformation of digital mock-ups (DMUs)
into simulation models, this paper exposes the problem of simulation assembly model …

Three-dimensional (3D) models are the most important carriers of CAD/CAE/CAPP/CAM,
and usually they contain more information than practically needed as for some given …

Abstract Model simplification is imperative in the process of computer aided design (CAD)
and computer aided engineering (CAE) integration. Mid-surface abstraction is the most …

The key technologies of CAD/CAM integration of mechanical parts which include parametric
modeling technology, model transformation of CAD/CAE and finite element modeling were …

Computer-aided design (CAD) models of thin-walled parts, such as sheet metal or plastic
parts, are often represented by their corresponding midsurfaces for computer-aided …

Mid-surface abstraction is an effective simplification method for thin-wall models. A mid-
surface model after abstraction can reduce the complexity of finite element analysis greatly …

DICOM database functions are employed to locate stored images and to update and retrieve
attributes of specific object instances. The Query/Retrieve service class provides a set of …
