Solid modeling is great for visualizing ideas but it's often misapplied in finite-element analysis. One of the latest methods of slashing development time is to use the 3D models that CAD users create ...

A mathematical technique for representing solid objects. Unlike wireframe and surface modeling, solid modeling systems ensure that all surfaces meet properly and that the object is geometrically ...

Are you ready to design a "molecular" machine? Software that is a distant cousin of conventional solidmodeling packages may turn today's designers into molecular engineers. The future of technology is ...

Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md. — An integral part of preparing and protecting Soldiers is analyzing Soldier equipment, weapons and vehicles. Vulnerability and Lethality, or V/L, modeling helps provide a ...

Some methods that can improve the process include examining prints and removing information that distracts from the engineers’ design intent. An innovative approach to design intent looks at geometric ...
