Abstract
A process for generating one or more three-dimensional computer CAD solid models for a complex product. The process includes evaluating the complex product, and selecting one or more three-dimensional modeling methods for the components of the complex product based on the evaluation of the complex product. Three-dimensional digital CAD solid models are generated for the components based on the selected one or more methods. A common reference point is set for each of the generated three-dimensional digital CAD solid models. The generated three-dimensional digital CAD solid models are combined based on the set reference point to form a three-dimensional digital CAD solid model for the complex product.
