Abstract
A system and method of integrating geometric models, comprising identifying a product to design or manufacture, generating a product template, initiating the generation of at least one geometry, associating knowledge with the geometry, performing operations on the geometry, comparing results of the operations to rules, modifying the geometry and the knowledge, propagating the modifications to at least one second geometry, and updating the template.
Claims14
A system for integrating geometric models, in a manufacturing process comprising:
- a computer;
- a storage medium in communication with said computer;
- a geometric template accessible by said computer, said template for defining a geometry;
- at least two geometries, said geometries accessible by said computer, said geometries each including at least one product feature;
- a computer program executing on said computer for modifying a product feature of a first geometry to coincide with a product feature of a second geometry;
- a computer program executing on said computer for associating knowledge with said geometries;
- and
- a computer program executing on said computer for comparing said geometries to rules.
