Abstract:
1. A method of incrementally solving a geometric model while generating the geometric model, comprising: providing a fragment collector for obtaining fragments of the geometric model; sending to a finite element solver, by a computer system, the fragments of the geometric model being generated by a model builder based on user input from a user's input, wherein the fragments of the geometric model are generated portions of the geometric model; providing a data validator for determining whether each of the fragments contains sufficient data for the finite element solver; sending, by the finite element solver, solution data concerning the fragments to a solution display generator while the model builder continues to generate the geometric model; and providing, by the solution display generator, the user with the solution data for use in providing inputs to update and correct the model while the geometric model continues to be generated by the model builder, wherein the geometric model continues to be generated by adding at least one additional fragment.
