Reverse Engineering

[design-engine]

Does anyone have experience with The Reverse Engineering Module RESTYLE?

They said there are four steps to reverse engineering and I say there are five. I thought I could get a discussion going...

PTC says...
Points Phase
Wrap Phase
Facet Phase
Surfacing Phase

I say...
Point data
wrap data
facet data
surface data (in restyle)
prep for parametric surface modifications
(using Pro/SURFACE)

Have a look at http://www.dirdim.com/lm_modelexamples.htm
Note the stages / grades; facet, "Rapid NURBS" and hybrid, engineered where applicable.

thanks jeff. When a manager asks for a reverse engineered model they are probably wanting an FEA or something. Then they get the results from the FEA and want to go change the point cloud proe model but can't because it's not parametric. Then they got a whole new problem.Manager should ask for a model they can change 20 times not just a scan of a model.
