To facilitate modeling a virtual object type is introduced. The virtual object type is a generic modeling aid by means of which one or more virtual objects, each representing a three-dimensional determined volume within a model, may be created, the virtual object being usable for modeling one or more physical objects representing one or more articles that will or may exist in the real world.

Computer aided modeling

A simplified mechanism to generate, using data of a model, one or more pour units, a pour unit indicating one or more objects and/or one or more object parts that are intended to be manufacture by a pour, is provided. In the mechanism, a connectivity graph is created for one or more objects modeling a continuous cast product. Then it is checked whether or not the pour break splits the graph into two or more separate graphs. If it splits, two pour units are created on the basis of the two or more separate graphs.
