Abstract

Feature-based modeling and history-based modeling are the two main paradigms that are used in most of current CAD systems. Although these modeling paradigms make it easier for designers to create solid model, it may pose dependency constraints on features that are interacting one with another. When editing such features, these constraints often cause unpredictable and unacceptable results. For example, when a parent feature is deleted, the child features of the parent feature are also deleted. This entails re-generations of the deleted features, which requires additional modeling time. In order to complement this situation, we propose a method to delete only the features of interest by disconnecting the dependency constraints. This method can provide designers with more efficient way of model modification.
