Development of the Simulation Model for Casting of Metal Substructure of Metal-ceramic Crown

This paper presents the aplication of a feature-based design features within simulation model development procedure. Based on a review of the feature technology and previous research work, paper focuses on the modeling of intricate relations among features of different design aspects. The authors propose a set of CAD-CAE features that are oriented to both the design and analysis processes. This paper describes flow chart of the simulation model modelling. The secondary objective of the research is to prepare correct solid model for numerical simulation in software package MAGMASOFT. The dental faced model which is imported from My VGL software has some unclear geometry and uncorrected facets. This model requires analysis, and subsequently corrections and reconstruction using advanced modelling Pro/E tools. Integrated CAD-CAE model is parametric, object-oriented, and feature-based.
