Morphing of watertight spline models using as-executed manufacturing data

A non-transitory computer-readable memory medium comprising program instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause a computer to:

• receive an as-designed watertight spline model of an object, wherein the as-designed watertight spline model is described in a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) model domain;
• construct a model of the object based at least in part on a point cloud and the as-designed watertight spline model, wherein the constructed model comprises a watertight spline model, wherein a spline structure of the constructed model is based at least in part on a spline structure of the as-designed watertight model;
• determine a warp function based on a difference between the as-designed watertight spline model and the constructed model, wherein the warp function comprises a continuous function describing differences between the constructed model and the as-designed watertight spline model, wherein the warp function comprises a spline model with a spline structure commensurate with the as-designed watertight model;
• determine as-preprocessed instructions for a simulation or analysis process of the object based at least in part on metadata of the as-designed watertight spline model and the warp function, wherein the as-preprocessed instructions are described in a Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) model domain;
• perform the simulation or analysis process on the object according to the as-preprocessed instructions to produce as-simulated data;
• and
• store the as-simulated data in the non-transitory computer-readable memory medium.
