It seems like a much better approach, at least to me. I'm looking forward to trying out SpaceClaim's software, thanks for the hookup. BTW, you're blog is excellent, very crisp. I'll let you know how things go. Jeff,

I never fully understood the ramifications of direct modeling. It was always obscured by competing ISV jargon. As competitors lash out at one another, customers seeking a deeper understanding of process and benefits are left on the sidelines. Your series, and especially this article, fill a much-needed void in a clear and concise way. Great series, Jeff. I never fully understood the ramifications of direct modeling.

I think the acceptance of direct modeling, as with everything, will come with time. Engineers are reluctant to take the plunge on something new until we over analyze, over think, over test a new technology. By the time we are comfortable, it is not new anymore. I suppose that is ok as I don't see this mindset changing anytime soon. But any guy that is looking to do FEA or CFD on more than a simple part will quickly understand what direct modeling brings to the table. I don't see it as a one or the other (direct vs. history). It will be a combo of the two. I think the more the line between each is blurred, the more people will accept it. dude, solid post, as always..
