Zusammenfassung:Multiple simultaneous representations are achieved through the capture essential geometry and topology in a master graph. Object information is captured in metadata associated with elements of this graph. An algorithm builds multiple domain specific representations based on the master graph and metadata. The summary of model objects is created based on metadata. Through this abstraction, desired representations (in this case for design and for manufacturing) may be generated and presented simultaneously with associativity.
