Bauteilobjekten
Bauteilobjekten are component objects that serve as the fundamental building blocks in various technical and engineering systems. In the context of mechanical engineering, a Bauteil refers to a discrete part such as a shaft, bearing or bracket, and a Bauteilobjekten is the representation of that part within a computer-aided design (CAD) model or simulation. In software engineering, the term is used analogously to describe objects that encapsulate the properties and behavior of a physical component, facilitating modularity and reuse in simulation or manufacturing software. The concept was popularised in the 1980s with the rise of parametric modelling and the need for object‑oriented approaches to product data management.
Within CAD systems, a Bauteilobjekten is typically characterised by geometric data (coordinates, dimensions, tolerances), material properties
Manufacturing systems often employ Bauteilobjekten in the form of digital twins. By synchronising sensor data and
