An automated and computerized technique as disclosed herein can be utilized to generate a modeled cutter ramp curve for a flange component. The technique can be utilized in conjunction with any suitable CAD system to render a cutter ramp curve on the modeled flange component. The system obtains a selected amount of user inputs, verifies that the user inputs are consistent with the geometry of the flange component, and generates the cutter ramp curve in response to the user inputs and the flange geometry.

Computerized tool and method for the automated creation of a cutter ramp curve

A process for generating one or more three-dimensional computer CAD solid models for a complex product. The process includes evaluating the complex product, and selecting one or more three-dimensional modeling methods for the components of the complex product based on the evaluation of the complex product. Three-dimensional digital CAD solid models are generated for the components based on the selected one or more methods. A common reference point is set for each of the generated three-dimensional digital CAD solid models. The generated three-dimensional digital CAD solid models are combined based on the set reference point to form a three-dimensional digital CAD solid model for the complex product.
