Assignee:

Brigham Young University - Provo UT

International Classification:

G06F 17/50

US Classification:

716139

Abstract:

A system for concurrent CAx workflow includes a collaborative server that manages a model of an engineering object, the model comprising at least design data and analysis data corresponding to the design data, a design client for editing of the design data by a design user, an analysis client for editing of the analysis data by an analysis user concurrent with editing of the design data by the design user; and wherein the collaborative server and the analysis client are collectively configured (i.e., one or both are configured) to enable the analysis user to edit the analysis data, view a plurality of geometric elements within the design data, and create a reference within the analysis data to a selected geometric element of the plurality of geometric elements within the design data. A corresponding apparatus, method, and computer-readable medium are also disclosed herein.

Abstract:

A method for collaborative finite analysis may include obtaining an electronic model of an engineering object, assigning users one or more geometries for pre-analysis editing to provide assigned geometries for each user, and enabling each user to conduct pre-analysis editing of their assigned geometries concurrent with other users. The method may also include conducting finite analysis on the assigned geometries of a first user concurrent with conducting finite analysis on the assigned geometries of a second user. Examples of pre-analysis editing include removing features that are secondary to analysis, applying a material definition to a geometry, pre-meshing a geometry, initiating automated meshing of a geometry, validating automated meshing of a geometry, editing a mesh for a geometry, manually meshing a geometry, defining one or more loads associated with a geometry, and defining one or more boundary conditions for a geometry. A corresponding system and apparatus are also disclosed herein.
