Abstract
Systems and methods described herein can efficiently define parametric models across a wide range of fields, using a library of elements and variables with standardized meanings, such that the models can be used by various people and computer systems. In one embodiment, a system for parametric modeling of a three-dimensional object has a processor running a software program operable to configure the object by defining a zone comprising a root of a tree hierarchy, the zone having a three-dimensional region defining an outer dimension of the object to be modeled; a part comprising a child of the zone, the part also having a component object to be modeled, wherein the component object is an element of the object; and a variable comprising a child of the part, wherein variable has data defining characteristics of the zone or part. A user interface can display a representation of the three-dimensional object.
