posted on 2018-05-25, 10:00 authored by Marcelo da Silva HounsellFeature based modelling represents the future of CAD systems. However,
operations such as modelling and editing can corrupt the validity of a feature-based
model representation. Feature interactions are a consequence of feature
operations and the existence of a number of features in the same model. Feature
interaction affects not only the solid representation of the part, but also the
functional intentions embedded within features. A technique is thus required to
assess the integrity of a feature-based model from various perspectives,
including the functional intentional one, and this technique must take into
account the problems brought about by feature interactions and operations. The
understanding, reasoning and resolution of invalid feature-based models
requires an understanding of the feature interaction phenomena, as well as the
characterisation of these functional intentions. A system capable of such
assessment is called a feature-based representation validation system.
This research studies feature interaction phenomena and feature-based
designer's intents as a medium to achieve a feature-based representation
validation system. [Continues.]
