Abstract
This paper proposes a method of representing a product as a feature model with multiple views. A feature is defined as a region which is composed of connected faces by the edges with the same convexity. The method maintains consistent relations between design manufacturing features against their modification. The model has more than one set of regions region trees corresponding to an individual view, along with a region graph which represents relations among features in different views. The graph is generated by scanning the common face among the regions in different views. Our method enables detection of the features which can be changed independently from the sequence of the feature creation, design manufacturing features on which the shape change has an effect, using the graph region trees. A feature cancel operation is explained as an example of feature manipulation, which maintains the correspondence of regions using the region Euler operations.
