New method reconstructs 3D geometry for direct CAD and simulation use

Researchers have developed FORGE-SIM, a novel method for reconstructing 3D geometry from sparse RGB images that is directly compatible with CAD and simulation workflows. This approach optimizes a multi-patch B-spline boundary representation, producing smooth, watertight models without manual intervention. The system can also project observation-derived fields, such as thermal states and semantic information, onto these models, enabling immediate use in simulations like thermal analysis and modal analysis. This unification aims to bridge the gap between computer vision and numerical analysis, facilitating new workflows in simulation-driven design and digital twins. AI
