3d Modeling from Images
(OP)
I'm trying to create a model of an object for finite element analysis. I have 15 or so images of this object taken from various viewpoints. Could anyone tell me what the most effective and accurate way of creating the model would be? Thanks a lot.

Another thing that I've done in the past is to use Rhino (assuming you have a copy) and generate curves in Rhino. I bring in the background image, generate some curves, pull those into pro/e and use them as guide curves (no references so you can delete them later).

other programs (3d studio, lightwave, maya, cinema 4D, rhino and so on) can manage much much better surface manipulations. These programs were created for this kind of thins. The problem is you will not be able to export from them to ProE as a solid or at least as quadric surfaces. You will end-up with 3 point faces.

Photogrammetry will give you a more accurate model because it will take into account the lens distortions. It is also not required that the views be from any particular orientation.
If you just need a quick model and have ortho views, then what others have described here will be much simpler.
If you have access to the object, then take the picture from as far away as possible with maximum zoom to reduce distortion.
