Abstract
In various embodiments, an automobile modeling application generates automobile designs. In operation, the automobile modeling application determines a first parameter value associated with a first instance of a first parameterized automobile component. The automobile modeling application then computes a second parameter value associated with a second instance of a second parameterized automobile component based on a structural relationship between the first instance and the second instance. Subsequently, the automobile modeling application generates a computer-aided design (CAD) geometry model for an automobile based on the first parameter value, the second parameter value, and one or more functional relationships defined between two or more instances included in a set of parameterized automobile component instances. Advantageously, because the automobile modeling application automatically propagates changes throughout the automobile design, the amount of time required to make significant changes to the automobile design can be substantially reduced.
