Solid Modeling Application in Electromagnetism

Abstract — The development and evolution of solid modeling has been motivated primarily by its potential for supporting automated applications. One of its main applications involves analysis in engineering, checking model consistency and its compatibility with the environment where it will be actually used, justifying the approval or any alteration of the project. This paper presents a survey of solid modeling aiming at process automation in Electromagnetism, specially for Finite Element Analysis, emphasizing the necessity of data transfer standardization between CAD systems and the search for informationally complete models, which allow automation during whole product’s life cycle
