Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03102876A2] To create a three-dimensional model for a tangible existing object, the object in question is first digitized to generate a network model of the object. The network model is then divided into bilinear surface elements, which are finally reunited to form a surface or volume model. A finite element model can be created from said surface or volume model by CAD/FEM coupling. The generated models are not only accurate, but also their creation requires a relatively short computational time.
