MASSIVE MODEL VISUALIZATION WITH SPATIAL RETRIEVAL

摘要

A method for massive model visualization in product data management system 100) includes - storing (605) a hierarchical product data structure (504) by a product data management system (100), including a plurality of occurrence nodes and component nodes; - receiving (620) a query that references an occurrence node and at least one cell index value, - determining (630) a query result (508) corresponding to the query (506); the query result (508) identifying at least one occurrence node that corresponds to the cell index value; - forming (635) a query result chain corresponding to the query result (508), the query result chain (510) filtered by a structural criterion (514), and - applying (650) a configuration rule (518) to the filtered query result chain (510) to identify child nodes of the filtered query result chain (516) that conform to the configuration rule (518), and thereby producing (650) a configured spatial retrieval result.
