Abstract
A system with generalized representation conversion capabilities, including at least one computing device in a client-server structure. A user may operate the client computing device to use a computer-aided design (CAD) software to implement geometric models for multiple objects, and request data from the server. A data store at the server stores necessary information of the system, which includes master representation information of a plurality of master representations (MRs), each MR representing one or more objects. When the user requests an individual representation of a selected object, a conversion module at the server may obtain, from the data store, the master representation information corresponding to the MR of the selected object being requested, and convert the master representation information to individual representation information, which corresponds to the individual representation of the selected object. The conversion module may then send the individual representation information to the client for the user.
