Matt,
Last year at ACES, a company out of NY working for the Air
Force at Rome claimed to have a product to do exactly what you are
looking for. Unfortunately, they were unable to demonstrate it and I
have my doubts. I will try to dig up their info.
In the meanwhile I would suggest looking at the program SIG
out of South Africa. I have been using it for several years to model
ships. It takes cross-section descriptions and builds an actual NEC
input. It's not perfect but it saves a lot of time. I also use a
MicroScribe 3D digitizer to input data from a scaled model (see
attachment - note the model in the background). I input the
cross-section data with the digitizer and then let SIG build the
model. The final detailing is done with GNEC from Nittany-Scientific.
If a scale model is available, this works very well.
SIG and GNEC are really inexpensive. They pay for themselves
in a day. The digitizer runs about $4k.
