Methods and systems identify frequently-used CAD components and apply machine learning techniques to predict mateable entities and corresponding mate types for those components to automatically add components to a CAD model. An example method includes accessing information regarding CAD model parts and related mate information stored in a computer database, and dividing parts into a plurality of clusters having parts with similar global shape signatures. In response to a new part being added, contextual signatures of entities of the new part are input into a mateability predictor neural network to determine a mateable entity of the new part. Input into a mate-type predictor neural network is (i) a contextual signature of the mateable entity and (ii) a contextual signature of an entity of another part of the CAD model to determine a mate type between the entities. A mate between the new part and the other part is automatically added based on the determined mate type.

Automatic assembly mate creation for frequently-used components

The invention notably relates to a computer-implemented method for designing a 3D modeled object. The 3D modeled object is stored in a database. The method provides the 3D modeled object having a plurality of features; selects, upon user action, a first geometry of a first feature; queries and retrieves from the database at least one specification according to the selected first geometry. The method selects at least one second feature; and applies, on the selected at least one second feature, the specification retrieved from the database.

Three-dimensional modeled object

The invention is directed to computer-implemented method for designing a staggered pattern of objects in a computer-aided design system. The method comprises providing a rotation axis that is the origin of two or more concentric circles, providing a reference object to be multi-instantiated, defining the number of objects to be instantiated from the reference object on each concentric circle, defining an angular shift, instantiating the number of objects from the reference object on each concentric circle, the instantiated objects being spaced according to an angular deviation between two consecutive instantiated objects on a given concentric circle, in one of every two concentric circle, shifting the instantiated objects in accordance with the angular shift.
