Conceptual Design
The modeling capability of NAPA allows any geometry to be handled flexibly and efficiently.
Changes are tracked automatically through the relationships between main surfaces, compartments and the entire design, ensuring the model is up-to-date at any stage of the design process.
The basis for managing the model are the topological relationships between objects: surfaces are used to limit the compartments and define structures. If the surface changes because a curve in its definition has been modified, the compartments and structures will be updated automatically. Results dependent on the model are marked out of date and then updated as required if something they depend on in the model changes.
