Geometry and B-Rep Reasoning

What This Capability Covers

This capability area covers shape understanding and structured interpretation of CAD and drawing geometry, including:

• topology and feature structure
• persistent identities and naming
• semantic extraction from geometry
• geometry-to-graph conversion
• linking 2D and 3D engineering representations

Why RapidDraft Cares

This is the capability backbone for both drawing intelligence and DFM reasoning. Without a strong geometry layer, later reasoning turns brittle and hard to scale.

Typical Academic Signals

• feature-recognition or CAD-intelligence work
• graph-based shape representations
• geometry kernels and topology work
• CAD-to-CAM or CAD-to-analysis translation

Linked Problem Spaces

• Drawing Intelligence
• DFM and Manufacturing Reasoning
• CAE and Simulation Automation

Linked Work Packages

• WP-01 Drawing Tolerance Extraction
• WP-02 Feature-Based Manufacturability Inference
• WP-03 Simulation-Ready Geometry Abstraction

Open Questions

• Which geometry representation should be the working abstraction for the first university collaborations?
• Should topological naming be treated as its own work package in the next content wave?
