Abstract
In this paper a system for defining dimensions and tolerances is presented which deals with the geometric representation of the objects in a coherent and compact way. This model is a combination of a hierarchical boundary model to represent geometry of the object with features and a relational graph model to encode dimensions and tolerances. In this way, the proposed model can be considered a ”product model” that, besides geometric and topological information about the feature components of a solid object, also codifies information about dimensions represented by relative positron operators connected to faces which are the primitive geometric entities of the object model. The method can automatically control the validity of the geometric and topological model of the object each tame that a new tolerance node is added to the structure or a tolerance constraint already existing is modified. In this case, it also translates changes in dimensional values into corresponding changes an geometry and topology.
