Abstract
A model generator and method of generating a model of an object for use in finite element analysis is provided. The model generator (24) includes an input data storage (12) with an output coupled to an input of a materials information generator (14) and an input of a mesh processor (16). The materials information generator (14) has an output coupled to a second input of the mesh processor (16). The mesh processor (16) has an output coupled to a thermal conditions processor (18) and a second output coupled to an output generator (20). The thermal conditions processor (18) has an output coupled to a third input of the mesh processor (16). The output generator (20) has an output coupled to an input of an output storage (22).
