A method for automatically detecting connectable surfaces in a technical system. The system includes bodies that can be connected to one another in pairs by applying a joining technology. A computerized design model of the system that, for each body of the system, includes at least one surface belonging to the body, and a joining technology, for example a specific bonding method, are provided. The joining technology produces a layer between in each case two bodies of the system. The surfaces or sub-areas of surfaces of the system that can be connected by the prescribed joining technology are automatically detected. For this purpose, those interspaces between in each case two surfaces of the design model that can be filled with a layer produced by the joining technology are automatically detected. Pairs of connectable finite elements are determined thereby. A computer evaluable decision criterion that compares the positions and/or orientations of the two finite elements with prescribed upper and/or lower bounds is applied for the determination.
