Abstract
In a product design system having a computer and an interactive program stored in the computer for aiding the engineer to design a product and including product design process for allowing the engineer to design a product model and mold design process to design a mold for producing the product based on the designed product model, the program is rewritten such that a virtual boundary line is determined between a portion of surface and rest of the geometric model, when a shape of the portion of surface of the geometric model is to be changed, an area extending to the virtual boundary line is determined as the portion of surface whose shape is to be changed; and the shape of the portion is changed using a definition of shape of the portion. With this, a portion of a geometric model such as a solid model, once completed, can be easily changed with the use of the definition of shape already obtained before the change is made, thereby improving the efficiency of product design.
