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, the removal feature being a feature that is removed prior to variational solving and recreated after a variational solution has been applied into the geometric model. The method includes designating at least one face of the removal feature as a remain variational face that will not be removed during a variational edit. The method includes adding a constraint to the remain variational face of the removal feature and performing the variational edit on the model to produce an edited model, including applying the constraint. The method includes storing the edited model.
