A design evaluation system which evaluates a design of a component or assembly, such as component or assembly . Particularly, system includes a database having several equality and inequality relationships which are required to be satisfied by the design . System also includes several equality and inequality relationships which system attempts to have satisfied by the design , but which are not required to be satisfied. System further dynamically modifies the values of certain variables within the design in order to substantially ensure that the design is modified in a manner which is consistent with certain of the equality and inequality relationships which are contained within the database

Design evaluation system

The invention involves a system and a method of inspecting a selected part design from an inventory of computer-aided part designs for die compliance as to the part design's geometric characteristics of die lock, draft, and sharp edge. The invention provides for an improvement of inspecting a computer-aided part design in order to lessen insufficient inspections which lead to manufacturing infeasibilities. The invention includes selecting a part design, defining a die open direction, evaluating die lock and draft characteristics of the selected part design, and evaluating sharp edge characteristics of the selected part design.
