Abstract

This article presents a state-of-the-art overview on shape, information and design retrieval systems in the context of CAD engineering. In contrast to existing surveys, we classify the different approaches from a CAD application user point of view. As a consequence, we focus on features of surveyed techniques such as: supported shape data types, handling of geometric invariances, support of metadata, supported query types, quality of retrieval results, and the availability of implementations.
