Title
Enforcing Model Validity by Automatic Adjustment
Abstract
and the additional information that is stored in the model on this, make it possible that the modeling system automatically adjusts an invalid feature model to enforce its validity. Examples of situations in which this facility can be protably used are during design by features if an operation results in an invalid model, during the cre- ation of a member of a family of products if a candidate member is created that does not satisfy all constraints on the family, and during feature conversion if a feature model for manufacturing planning of a product does not exists for the existing design feature model of the product. Here, an example is given of automatically adjusting an invalid model in design by features. The model that is used in this example is the model of Fig. 1, which is invalid because part of the side face of the conical hole is missing, which is prohibited by a constraint. Based on the variant feature parameters, the modeling system may decide to automatically adjust the width of the base, in such a way that the complete side face of the conical hole appears, and the model becomes valid (see Fig. 2).
