SurfaceWorks' powerful relational
capabilities allow you to define relationships between points, curves and surfaces.
Relationships can be spacing between surfaces and curves, angular positions, symmetry,
fixed constraints, accurate joins between adjacent curves and surfaces, and more. These
relationships are maintained as your design evolves, allowing you to capture
important design intent information. Any part will automatically update
during model edits and modifications. In relational CAD, objects are
"smart" -- each relational object knows how it was constructed, and from what
other objects, so it knows how to update itself when notified of a change. The relational
model is smart, too -- it knows how its objects are connected, so it can send update
commands to the right objects and in the right sequence so they stay connected.
Relational Geometry is not limited to NURBS, although NURBS
surfaces are integrated with other powerful surfacing techniques.
