Abstract
A system for producing human readable physical data in text form from geometric data in mathematical form that partially describes a three dimensional object. A first database is provided that contains geometric data in mathematical form representative of the shape of the object. A second database contains physical data in text form. At least a portion of the data in the first database can be extracted and used as the basis for calculations of physical data in mathematical form, which can be converted into human readable physical data in text form. The resulting physical data can be merged with data from the second database to produce a complete geometric description in text of the object. The present invention also contemplates a mechanism for using empirical data with a knowledge based system. The knowledge based system can be used to modify the physical data to adapt geometric properties to a manufacturing process.
