Abstract:
A system, method, and computer program for modifying a solid model representation that is manipulated in a computer having software instructions for design, comprising: a computer system, wherein the computer system includes a memory, a processor, a user input device, and a display device; a computer generated geometric model stored in the memory in the memory of the computer system; and wherein the computer system accesses at least one data file having a plurality of geometric model definitions; converts the geometric model definitions into a visual representation of a geometric model; identifies an edit feature for modification on a body of the geometric model; calculates a modified geometric model with the modified edit, wherein the computer system removes the edit feature from an original body of the geometric model; creates a mapping for a plurality of faces from the edit feature to a new edit feature; applies the new edit feature to the original body, wherein the new edit feature is remapped to a new body and the new body is modified; and integrates the new feature with the modified geometric model; and appropriate means and computer-readable instructions.
