| Abstract | CAD technology plays an ever more central role in today's multidisciplinary simulation environments. While this has enabled highly complex and detailed models to be used earlier in the design process it has brought with it difficulties for simulation specialists. Most notably CAD models now contain many details which are irrelevant to simulation disciplines. CAD systems have feature trees which record feature creation but unfortunately this does not capture which features are relevant to which analysis discipline. Many features of little significance to an analysis only emerge during the construction of the model. The ability to selectively suppress and reinstate features while maintaining an audit trail of changes is required to facilitate the control of the idealisation process. Features suppressed for one analysis can be retrieved for use in another.This work uses combinatorial topology concepts to outline the necessary conditions so that CAD model simplification operations can be designed as continuous transformations. Irrelevant features can then be suppressed and subsequently reinstated, within defined limitations, independently from the order in which they were suppressed. The implementation of these concepts provides analysts with a mechanism for generating analysis models with different levels of detail, without having to repeat the simplification process from the original CAD geometry. Most importantly, the information recorded during the suppress operations forms an essential audit trail of the idealisation process and can be presented in a feature-tree like structure allowing analysts to review their modelling decisions retrospectively. The approach also facilitates the generation of local, detailed models encapsulating a feature of interest. The proposed system follows a Find and Fix paradigm; where different algorithms for feature finding and fixing can be utilised in a common cellular modelling framework. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
