1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- providing a computer aided design (CAD) model comprising a plurality of physical elements;
generating an analytical representation of the plurality of physical elements, the analytical representation comprising a plurality of analytical elements corresponding to the physical elements;
generating an association between each analytical element and corresponding physical element such that a modification to one element can be applied to modify a corresponding other; and
displaying a graphical view of the analytical representation and a graphical view of the physical elements on a display device.
