Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer readable mediums. A method includes receiving a geometric model including at least one removal feature having at least one face and designating at least one face as a remove variational face. The method includes adding a constraint that refers to the designated face. The method includes creating a second object corresponding to the removal feature and modifying the constraint to refer to the second object instead of the removal feature. The method includes removing the removal feature and performing a variational edit and solve on the model using the second object in place of the removal feature. The method includes recreating the model according to the variational edit. The recreated model can include the removal feature placed according to an updated location of the second object.
