Abstract
A variational model is a computer representation of a variational class and stands for a collection of different instances of the part or assembly modeled in CAD. The different basic approaches to variational modeling are reviewed. A surface-based approach to variational modeling is discussed. The approach is applied to solving the problems of eliminating rigid-body motion, handling incidence and tangency constraints, and modeling form variations. The application of variational modeling to automated tolerance analysis is also discussed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
