Abstract
A generic, integrated, parametric, automated product configuration system for parametric configuration of products such as offices on a building space plan. The system can produce bills of materials, costings and manufacturing drawings in real-time at the request of a user as the user specifies and configures the product components and parameters values. The system provides for real time three-dimensional visualization and editing of the product as it is configured. It also includes a rule engine for validating the product and automatically incorporating missing necessary components in a configuration in real-time as the user configures a product.
Claims15
A product configuration system comprising:
- a. A sketcher module for generating and displaying a product design from parameterized model configurations in real-time as a user specifies the model configurations and their parameter values;
- and
- b. A dynamic assembly logic module for generating a costing and a bill of materials for the product design at the request of the user as the user specifies the model configurations and their parameter values.
