Abstract

Methods for CAD editing and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes receiving a CAD model including a plurality of entities and receiving a user input including a selection of at least one entity and a movement of the selected entity. The method includes applying any basic condition behaviors that correspond to the user input and applying any optional condition behaviors that correspond to the user input. The method includes building a variational system to be solved based on the user input, any applied basic condition behaviors, and any optional condition behaviors. The method includes performing a variational solve on the variational system to produce an edited CAD model and storing the edited CAD model.
