COMPUTATIONAL DESIGN METHOD AND INTERFACE

摘要

A method, system, apparatus, computer program product, and computer readable storage medium provide the ability to define an object in a parametric modeling application. Geometric parametric objects are authored and organized into a family definition. Via a user interface, enhanced computational logic is defined. The logic is compiled into the family definition such that the enhanced computational logic is embedded at an object level of the one or more geometric parametric objects. Upon a building information model requiring a regeneration operation, the compiled enhanced computational logic is automatically executed.

1. A computer-implemented method for defining an object in a parametric modeling application, comprising:
authoring one or more geometric parametric objects in the parametric modeling application; organizing the one or more geometric parametric objects into a family definition within the parametric modeling application; defining, via a user interface of the parametric modeling application, enhanced computational logic; compiling the enhanced computational logic into the family definition such that the enhanced computational logic is embed at an object level of the one or more geometric parametric objects; determining that a regeneration operation of the family is required; and as part of the regeneration operation, automatically executing the compiled enhanced computational logic.
