Abstract
Simulation driven product development is state of the art to insure that desired characteristics in use behave as requested before performing expensive tests using prototypes. Product simulation is performed with high expense to achieve the aim of precise and reliable results. Despite knowing the fact, that manufactured components show differences to its nominal, ideal CAD-models are used for the analysis. Therefore, an approach of a knowledge-based process to integrate real geometry data into simulations and different methods to prepare the models are represented.
