The goal of this SGER is to explore the feasibility of a web-based CAD search engine to allow the designer to efficiently find qualified prospects for contract manufacturing in real time from a pool of globally distributed contract manufacturers. This would require a search system that will allow OEM companies to search for and qualify potential contractors through coded CAD data in addition to current text searches, allowing product shape to be mathematically converted into searchable code. The exploratory research will determine the feasibility of converting the description of a product's shape from its Boundary Model Representation (B-Rep) as represented by the theory of solid modeling into a boundary value problem as governed by field theory. The tasks include determining if a code or "fingerprint" of a mechanical product shape can be mapped through electrostatic field analysis. In order to have significant broader impact on the potential industrial applications in purchasing and production planning, this mapping must be an efficient and secure method for CAD data coding and classification

该SGER的目标是探索基于Web的CAD搜索引擎的可行性，以使设计师能够有效地从全球分布的合同制造商中真实的时间找到合格的合同制造前景。这将需要一个搜索系统，允许OEM公司通过编码的CAD数据搜索和鉴定潜在的承包商，除了当前的文本搜索，允许产品形状被数学转换为可搜索的代码。探索性的研究将确定转换的产品的形状描述从其边界模型表示（B-Rep）为代表的实体造型理论为一个边界值问题，由场论的可行性。这些任务包括确定是否可以通过静电场分析映射机械产品形状的代码或“指纹”。为了对采购和生产计划中潜在的工业应用产生更广泛的影响，这种映射必须是CAD数据编码和分类的有效和安全的方法
