1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • providing a view of a physical element, the physical element represented in a computer aided design (CAD) model;

    determining a structural reinforcement appearance for the physical element where the appearance includes an arrangement of bars in one or more layers as determined by a structural analysis of the CAD model;

    integrating the appearance of the structural reinforcement into the view of the physical element, where the bars do not have corresponding physical elements in the CAD model;

    receiving a modification of the physical element; and

    modifying the appearance of the structural reinforcement to reflect the modification to the physical element, where the modifying is performed by one or more processors.
