Abstract
With the progress of 3D scanning technology and storing mesh data to 3D model databases, the use of the meshes obtained by scanning and DB querying in CAE have been strongly required in addition to those obtained from traditional meshing of solid models. In this paper, we introduce our multiresolution mesh modeling system that can satisfy above requirements. Our system includes the functions that allow us to use several kinds of meshes in the CAE ; mesh properties control, mesh density control, feature suppression, and mesh combining. The effective use of them in the CAE is also described.
