Representation validation in feature-based modelling: a framework for design correctness analysis and assurance
conference contribution
posted on 2014-01-31, 11:34 authored by Marcelo da Silva Hounsell, Keith CaseFeature-based Modelling allows extra meaning to be added to geometry, but lacks the
equivalent geometric formalism usually found in computer-aided design (CAD) and
Geometric Solid Modelling (GSM) systems. CAD systems have been evolving into
constraint-based design environments instead of intent-driven ones where the designer can
use whatever manipulation is available in the system without been afraid of messages like
"manipulation not permitted". These messages usually restrain the user in order to avoid
representation changes and faulty or "unknown" situations.
A Design-by-Feature system with a representation validation framework is presented that
supports "Design for X", intent-driven modelling, encompasses existing low-level geometric
verifications, adds high-level rules to analyse and enrich the design and incorporates
operations to assure its correctness. Also it alleviates the designer from specifying each and
every geometric detail/relationship (improving productivity).
