Abstract

A rules data method is devised that records, documents, organizes, filters, and sorts a set of engineering rules along with other sets of rules. The rules database method may also correctly devise an order or sequence for a set of engineering rules. The rules database method comprises firstly, to create a database (14); secondly, to convert a set of symbolic equations to spreadsheet formula; thirdly, to write spreadsheet formula to a spreadsheet (18); and fourthly, to share a set of parameters of the database (14) with a computer aided design geometry (22).
