Abstract
A method of creating a CAD model from a finite element model includes identifying and characterizing features of interest from the finite element model. Multiple intermediate data structures of the finite element model are created by dividing the input mesh of the finite element model into mesh regions. Feature recognition is performed on each intermediate data structure to identify finite element model features. Features and feature properties are extracted from the finite element model, and a CAD model is created using the extracted features and feature properties.
