Abstract
A method is disclosed to model a part in the context of one or more assembly states. This method stores references of one or more states of one or more assemblies that a user wants to model a part against, and allows the user to reference surrounding parts from references of assembly states in one or more parametric features. Each reference of assembly with other necessary data is stored in a user object called a context. The assembly can be modified to move components as per desired motion while the part is modeled against one or more assembly states. Also provided is an interface to manage assembly states that are important for a part design for relating to other parts in the assembly. Such interface lets the user update one or more assembly states and associated features for each state at any time during design cycle.
