Remarks
|
| ‘Clean’ CAD model | - |
| De-featured i.e. no chamfers, radii, fillets except when item of interest | - |
| Simple geometries | - |
| Transfer of multiple simple geometries instead of one complicated | - |
| Geometry as surface, avoid volume (EUCLID3) | In CATIA V5 no difference between volume and surface is made any more --> positive feature |
| Structural Engineering: Resume as much as possible data in tables and parameters (wall thickness as shell parameter) | - |
| Manage data transfer between analysis software (e.g. FEM – CFD) as much as possible on mesh level | Often difficult to select loaded nodes; modeling of additional structure elements is difficult and time consuming; very difficult: modeling of bond lines |
