Abstract
In a method for simulating a three-dimensional (3D) model of a workpiece using an electronic device, the method meshes a 3D model using triangles, and outputs a first sequence of triangles of the 3D model. The method further normalizes vertexes of each of the triangles in the first triangle sequence, and obtains a meshed model of the workpiece. A 2D image of the workpiece is divided and a second sequence of triangles of the divided 2D image is obtained. The method further traverses the second sequence of triangles and obtains a pixel set and vertex coordinates of each of the triangles in the second sequence, and electronically pastes each of the triangles in the second sequence to a corresponding position in the meshed 3D model. The pasted 3D model is displayed on a display device.
