Morphological and volumetrical feature-based designer's intents
conference contribution
posted on 2013-12-18, 09:38 authored by Marcelo da Silva Hounsell, Keith CaseFeatures are claimed to be the carriers of Designer's Intents (DI's) which are seldom defined, identified
and represented in Design-by-Features (DbF) systems. This paper presents an interpretation of
Designer's Intents for the Feature-based Modelling (FBM) context and emphasis will be given to the
Morphological Functional and Volumetrical Geometrical DI’s which express the basic behaviour of a
DbF system. DI's are also an important part of a validation system capable of reasoning about the
semantics of using features in a particular design. If features' characterisations via DI's are well
established and measurable the representation could be assessed as to its conformity with feature's
meaning and their semantics could be validated. It is considered that the better Designer's Intents are
understood and specified, the more useful Feature-based Modelling will become.
