Operators therefore need to understand the fundamental properties of models, in order to make the most of them. This is the subject of this article and of [H 3 750] , as it can have a major influence on their own design methods: pre-cutting, sub-assembly definitions, order of operations for parameterization, etc. However, the geometric model is not sufficient to take into account functional aspects, i.e. the...
