摘要：Researches in the field of Computer Aided Design (CAD) has significantly reduced the time and effort required by the designer to define product models. Still Designing complex geometric models particularly for non manifold objects is very time consuming, especially since there can be hundreds of features and thousands of mathematical expressions to create. This work shows that programmatic operations designed for a non- manifold product design can streamline the component-level design process much further because a single programmatic operation can create an unlimited number of low-level features, modify geometry in multiple components and create new components. Results from user testing show that a set of high-level programmatic operations can offer savings in time and effort of over 70 % and can be general enough to support user-specified component cross sections while leaving the majority of the primary design decisions open to the designer
