Using the computer to design objects by modeling their components with real-world behaviors and attributes. Typically specialized for either mechanical design or building design, a parametric modeler ...

We all know and love OpenSCAD for its sweet sweet parametrical goodness. However, it’s possible to get some of that same goodness out of Fusion 360. To do this we will be making a mathematical model ...

Simple drafting programs just let you draw like you’d use a pencil. But modern programs use parametric models to provide several benefits. One is that you can use parameters to change parts of your ...

Parametric features are becoming more common in FEA packages. The key benefit of parametric features is that they let users see the effects of design changes quickly. With adequate planning, users can ...

Today, most architects are used to the complex workflow of using multiple tools during the design process. These traditional legacy tools can be bulky and slow, hamper creativity, and often do not ...

This technical FAQ examines three modeling gaps identified in engineering literature and outlines algorithmic methods to ...
