First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of classifying models comprising the steps of:
- providing a processor, wherein the processor performs the steps of;
determining a first set of values based on predetermined properties of training models;
defining classifications based upon said first set of values;
determining a second set of values based on predetermined properties of a query model;
comparing said second set of values to said classifications; and
determining a classification of said query model based on said comparing step.

Abstract
A method of providing an automated classifier for 3D CAD models wherein the method provides an algorithm for learning new classifications. The method enables existing model comparison algorithms to adapt to different classifications that are relevant in many engineering applications. This ability to adapt to different classifications allows greater flexibility in data searching and data mining of engineering data.

10. A method of searching for a model comprising the steps of:
using a processor, wherein the processor performs the steps of; determining a first set of values based on predetermined properties of a query model; comparing said first set of values to definitions for classification, wherein said definitions for said classification are based on a second set of values that is determined by predetermined properties for a group of training models; and determining a classification of said query model based on said comparing step. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for classifying models comprising:
-
a database for storing a plurality of training models and classification definitions, wherein said classification definitions are based upon a first set of values determined by predetermined properties of said training models; and a host unit connected to said database for receiving a query model, and determining a second set of values based on said predetermined properties of said query model, said host determining a classification of said query model by comparing said second set of values to said classification definitions. - View Dependent Claims (20)
