Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating a CAD feature tree from a discrete geometrical representation of a mechanical product. The method comprises obtaining the discrete geometrical representation, and a set of CAD features. Each CAD feature includes an interior and a boundary, the boundary representing a surface covered by the feature and the interior representing a surface erased by the feature. The method further comprises determining an optimal sequence of CAD features from the set of CAD features providing an optimal surface covering of the discrete geometrical representation.
