CAD Quality and Validation Practices for Model-Based Design

    1. Identify quality defects in a 3D CAD model that would negatively impact downstream model reuse: Quality check 3D CAD model for geometry defects, Quality check 3D CAD model for PMI and Annotation defects, Quality check 3D CAD model for derivative defects for geometry differences, Identify the different types of CAD derivates for MBD, Quality check 3D CAD model for derivative defects for PMI and Annotation differences.

    2. Ensure that derivative models are equivalent to the native source model through model validation.

    3. Compare different revisions of a native CAD model to identify model changes.

    4. Conduct CAD file data stability checks.

    5. Generate CAD quality and validation documentation.

    6. Run CAD quality tests using advanced software.
