A Study of the process of using pro/ENGINEER Geometry models to Create finite Element models Abstract Methods for building pro/ENGINEER models which allowed integration with structural and thermal mesh generation and analyses software without recreating geometry were evaluated. This study was not intended to be an in-depth study of the mechanics of pro/ENGINEER or of mesh generation or analysis software, but instead was a first cut attempt to provide recommendation for Sandia personnel which would yield useful analytical models in less time than an analyst would require creating a separate model. The study evaluated a wide variety of geometries built in pro/ENGINEER and provides general recommendations for designers, drafters, and analysts. Acknowledgments This study was directly supported by Mark Michelson and Dennis fritts, drafters; Dave nestle and Hal Rudolf , designers ; and Mike handoff and Bruce kestrel finite element analysts. Also, arlo Ames was invaluable for his insight into the behavior and capabilities of pro/ENGINEER. Introduction The process of performing finite element analysis system or components consists generally of four step : 1 geometry 2 mesh creation from the geometry 3 application to the mesh of properties and boundary and load conditions, and 4 performing the finite element calculations, and 5 examining the result of the analysis . This study examines the link between the first two steps. The reason for the study is that the past decade has seen a tremendous growth in the capabilities of electronic design (geometry) definition, with such computer software as pro/ENGINEER. Now being able to routinely define solid geometries. This electronic database can create traditional blueprints for manufacturing purposes; bur can also transfer information electronically to computerized manufacturing processes and to finite element analysts. Potentially, this electronic transfer of information can save the analyst a significant amount of time in both st
