Abstract
Systems and methods for maintaining equivalence relations in product data management (PDM) systems. A method includes receiving a 3D model including a plurality of components, and receiving a selection of one of the plurality of components of the model. The method includes receiving a selection of at least one equivalence relation to be discovered in the 3D model and identifying at least one target component of the plurality of components of the model. The method includes completing the selected component with respect to each target component according to each selected equivalence relation. The method includes building and storing an equivalence relationship graph according to the completed selected component.
