Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and corresponding system for generating a computer-aided design (CAD) model from a finite element mesh. The method of the invention begins with selecting one or more mesh-element-faces on a finite element mesh that represents a geometric object to be formed of one or more geometric faces. Next, from the one or more selected mesh-element-faces, respective geometric faces are generated. Finally, any generated geometric faces are stitched together to make a geometric shell of the geometric object that the finite element mesh represents.
