Tool for shared engineering mesh-run integration with version evolution tracking

Abstract

The physical object design and manufacture tool employs a processor programmed to parse user-supplied instructions expressed as text statements according to a predefined syntax and grammar. The processor interfaces with a graphical mesh creation tool that that expresses object geometry according to a predefined data model and that produces a graphical rendering of an object in accordance with the data model. The processor also interfaces with a computer-implemented analysis system that responds to predefined analysis code instructions and generates a simulation output stored in a file system associated with the analysis system. The processor is further interfaced with a version control repository system. The processor translates user-supplied instructions into designated analysis code that it submits to the analysis system as a job to be run. The processor causes the version control repository system to capture a state of the user-supplied instructions and generates an identifier or hash code that it uses to tag the file where the simulation output is stored.
