Table 1 - Guideline: how to perform data transfer

Measure
Remarks
‘Clean’ CAD model -
De-featured i.e. no chamfers, radii, fillets except when item of interest -
Simple geometries -
Transfer of multiple simple geometries instead of one complicated -
Geometry as surface, avoid volume (EUCLID3) In CATIA V5 no difference between volume and surface is made any more --> positive feature
Structural Engineering: Resume as much as possible data in tables and parameters (wall thickness as shell parameter) -
Manage data transfer between analysis software (e.g. FEM – CFD) as much as possible on mesh level Often difficult to select loaded nodes; modeling of additional structure elements is difficult and time consuming; very difficult: modeling of bond lines
