Abstract
In order to effectively utilize three-dimensional models, the quality of a 3D auto meshing function linked with a 3D CAD system and 3D models was improved. This was achieved with the aim of performing finite element analysis on, without modification of, detail models including detailed fillets, draft angles and other complex shapes which can be applied to die manufacturing. As a result, 3D detail models with a data volume in excess of 100 MB could be converted to CAE models by auto meshing, allowing designers to perform finite element analysis at the transmission design site.
