Abstract
A method of cloning models of a physical fastener may include a computer-aided design (CAD) system receiving one or more instructions that identify a base model of a physical fastener. For each of one or more socket models having at least one characteristic corresponding to the base model, the method may further include generating a clone fastener model based on the base model of a physical fastener and at least one physical property of the one or more socket models.
Claims20
A method of generating a model of a physical fastener, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer-aided design (CAD) system, one or more instructions identifying a geometric entity;
- generating a fastener model including the geometric entity and one or more associated elements, the one or more associated elements depending on the geometric entity and characteristics of an associated socket model.
A method of cloning models of a physical fastener, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer-aided design (CAD) system, one or more instructions identifying a base model of a physical fastener;
- for each of one or more socket models having at least one characteristic corresponding to the base model, generating a clone fastener model as a function of the base model and at least one physical property of the one or more socket models.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium with computer code instruction stored thereon, the computer code instructions when executed by an a processor cause an apparatus to:
- receive one or more instructions identifying a geometric entity;
- generate a fastener model including the geometric entity and one or more associated elements, the one or more associated elements depending on the geometric entity and characteristics of an associated socket model.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium with computer code instruction stored thereon, the computer code instructions when executed by an a processor cause an apparatus to:
- receive one or more instructions identifying a base model of a physical fastener;
- for each of one or more socket models having at least one characteristic corresponding to the base model, generate a clone fastener model as a function of the base model and at least one physical property of the one or more socket models.
