1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying an analytical representation of a plurality of physical elements in a computer aided design (CAD) model, the analytical representation comprising a plurality of analytical elements, one or more of the plurality of analytical elements corresponding to one or more of the plurality physical elements;
identifying an association between corresponding analytical and physical elements such that a modification to one element can be applied to modify a corresponding other; and
automatically detecting an error in the analytical representation.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for identifying an analytical representation of a plurality of physical elements in a computer aided design (CAD) model, the analytical representation comprising a plurality of analytical elements. one or more of the plurality of analytical elements corresponds to one or more of the plurality physical elements. An association is identified between corresponding analytical and physical elements such that a modification to one element can be applied to modify a corresponding other. An error is automatically detected in the analytical representation.

-
identifying an analytical representation of a plurality of physical elements in a computer aided design (CAD) model, the analytical representation comprising a plurality of analytical elements, one or more of the plurality of analytical elements corresponding to one or more of the plurality of physical elements; receiving user input modifying a physical element in the plurality of physical elements or an analytical element in the plurality of analytical elements; and
modifying a corresponding other to reflect the first modification; andin response to the user input, automatically detecting an error in the analytical representation. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
