Abstract

See full text

A method for reducing the complexity of a triangulated CAD model while preserving the topological properties and shape of the original model is disclosed. In operation, the system and method identifies a plurality of coplanar vertices in a CAD model, removes the coplanar vertices if they form a circle that is smaller than a predetermined size, and then re-triangulates an opening left by the removal of the vertices from the CAD model.
