✦ Synopsis

In this study, we propose a methodology capable of analysing and synthesizing relational geometric design models, based on a mapping between geometric nodes (points) on the model and the physical dimensions of the solid model. The relations that include translation and rotation between the geometric nodes are stored in a tree structure. Based on this methodology, an implementation is developed that allous a designer to freely synthesize and analyse geometric relations among admissible physical dimensions of the object. Meanwhile the management of the underlying parameterized relational geometric data automatically occurs. i'm I997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
