Relational Geometry

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.
