A computer-implemented method of geometric feature detection and modification comprising: accessing a data file including a model of an object formed from basic geometric elements of the object, including lines, surfaces and at least one solid body element; using an outward normal vector of at least one surface in conjunction with the basic geometric elements to automatically detect a geometric feature of the object which is unsuitable for analysis; and modifying the unsuitable geometric feature to produce a modified model for analysis purposes.
