Method and system for validating product and manufacturing information of a geometric model

A data processing system comprising:

• one or more processing units;
• and
• a memory unit communicatively coupled to the one or more processing units, wherein the memory unit comprises a PMI validation module configured to:
• generate a geometric model of a physical object in a computer-aided design environment, wherein the geometric model of the physical object comprises product and manufacturing information;
• extract the product and manufacturing information from the geometric model;
• validate the extracted product and manufacturing information using at least one checker, wherein the at least one checker comprises one or more logical elements capable of validating the product and manufacturing information;
• and
• output results of the validation of the product and manufacturing information on a graphical user interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores machine-readable instructions executable by a data processing system to validating product and manufacturing information associated with a geometric model in a computer-aided design environment, the machine-readable instructions comprising:

• generating a geometric model of a physical object in the computer-aided design environment, wherein the geometric model of the physical object comprises product and manufacturing information;
• extracting the product and manufacturing information from the geometric model;
• validating the extracted product and manufacturing information using at least one checker, wherein the at least one checker comprises one or more logical elements capable of validating the product and manufacturing information;
• and
• outputting results of the validating of the product and manufacturing information on a graphical user interface.
