ABSTRACT:
A system and method for assembling a mesh model for engineering analysis by a user is provided. The system includes a user computer system, a remotely located computer system and a data storage means. The method includes the steps of selecting a plurality of component parts having a best practice mesh model format and selecting a predetermined property for each of the selected component parts, wherein the predetermined property is selected from a best practice library stored on the data storage means. The method also includes the steps of determining if the mesh model for each of the selected component parts meets a predetermined mesh quality condition using a best practice mesh quality checking software program. The method further includes the steps of selecting a best practice connecting means for connecting the selected component parts, wherein the connecting means is selected from a best practice library of mesh models of connecting means stored in the data storage device, and assembling the selected component parts together using the connecting means and the best practice properties into a new mesh model using a best practice mesh assembly software program, and the assembled mesh model is available for further analysis.
