Abstract
This paper describes a system for constructing geometric models from elastically deflected finite element meshes. Two dimensional boundary curves are constructed by fitting B-Spline curves to the deflected Finite Element model. Cubic B-Splines are generated using least squares fitting techniques to the boundary curves of the Finite Element results. The fitted curves are connected end-to-end. The algorithm is useful after analysis for interfacing analysis results with design data in a shape optimization system based on Finite Element techniques.
