Patent ID: 8379017

Claim:
A method for improving the performance in processing an interprocess digital mockup, wherein said method comprises: importing a plurality of product data elements of a digital mockup; wherein each of the plurality of product data elements comprises at least one geometry data element and at least one meta data element; addressing and assigning each of the geometry data elements to a geometry structure, wherein a geometry in the geometry structure is combined such that a graduation of the geometry structure is reduced; addressing and assigning each of the meta data elements to a meta structure; addressing each of the geometry data elements also in the meta structure such that each of the plurality of product data elements is addressed and assigned in the meta structure; wherein each product data element has a universally unique identification number such that each of the at least one geometry data element and the corresponding at least one meta data element of a product data element have the same universally unique identification number for providing a definite communication; linking the geometry structure and the meta structure by a communication protocol such that bidirectional interaction between the geometry structure and the meta structure is realized; selecting one of the geometry data elements in the meta structure; forwarding the selection to the geometry structure by the communication protocol; and illustrating and processing the selected geometry data element in an image processing device.
