HYBRID VARIATIONAL SOLVING IN CAD MODELS

摘要

Methods for product data management and corresponding systems and computer- readable mediums. A method includes receiving (1005) a CAD model (300) with a plurality of elements (306), each element having a plurality of features (302). The method includes receiving (1010) a CAD operation (204) to be performed on the plurality of elements and performing (1015) a variational solve on a first one (316) of the plurality of elements according to the CAD operation to produce an edited first element (318). The method includes calculating (1020) corresponding CAD operations for the remaining plurality of elements according to the edited first element and a relationship between the edited first element and the remaining elements to produce an edited plurality of elements. The method includes storing (1025) the edited first element and the edited plurality of elements in the CAD model.
