Essential developments in feature modeling

Willem F. Bronsvoort, Eelco van den Berg, Rafael Bidarra, and Alex Noort

Four essential developments in feature modelling are discussed that solve serious shortcomings in current feature modelling systems. First, in semantic feature modelling, it is possible to more adequately specify and maintain the meaning of features. Second, in enhanced multiple-view feature modelling, different views on a product are provided, also for conceptual and assembly design. Third, in collaborative feature modelling, several users can collaborate on the development of a product with full feature modelling functionality. Finally, in freeform feature modelling, features with freeform faces are made available. All developments are illustrated with results from research projects at Delft University of Technology, and also future developments are mentioned.
