DETERMINING BOOLEAN REGION PARTICIPANTS FOR A NOTIONAL CONTEXT GIVEN ARBITRARY BODIES

摘要

Product Data Management (PDM) systems and methods. A method includes receiving a target body and a tool body, and evaluating a body type of the target body and a body type of the tool body. The method includes evaluating interactions between the target body and the tool body, and applying comparison criteria to determine spatial relation and relative convexity of an intersection between the target body and the tool body. The method includes identifying tool face regions of the tool body based on the evaluations and the determined spatial relation and relative convexity of the intersection. The method includes adding the tool face regions to the target body to produce a modified target body.
