Systems and methods are provided for generating a mesh assembly. A specification of a system having first and second objects is received. The specification includes, for each of the first and second objects, geometric data for the object and mesh data comprising settings for creating a mesh representation of the object. The first object is associated with a first mesh, and the second object is associated with a second mesh. The associating includes, for each of the first and second objects, determining whether a mesh with geometric data and mesh data corresponding to that of the object has been previously generated. If the mesh has been previously generated, the object is associated with the mesh, and if the mesh has not been previously generated, the object is meshed to generate a new mesh that is associated with the object. A mesh assembly including the first and second meshes is generated.

Systems and methods are provided for providing protected three-dimensional components for simulation. A three-dimensional component may be accessed, wherein the three-dimensional component includes one or more characteristics of the three-dimensional component, and wherein certain values of the characteristics of the three-dimensional components are variable via a parameter. An encapsulation command may be received for the three-dimensional component, wherein the encapsulation command includes an encryption setting, an access control setting, and an identification of which values of the characteristics of the three-dimensional component are variable via a parameter. An encapsulation of the three-dimensional component may be generated, wherein the encapsulation is encrypted based on the encryption setting and the access control setting, and wherein, when the three-dimensional component is encrypted, the three-dimensional component is inaccessible outside of an authorized program.
