Methods for product data management and corresponding systems and computer-readable mediums. A method includes receiving a geometric model including plurality of blends and identifying a blend ribbon that includes at least two of the plurality of blends. Each blend in the blend ribbon is mutually dependent on at least one other blend in the blend ribbon. The method includes selecting a blend ribbon breaker corresponding to the blend ribbon and designating a plurality of blends in the blend ribbon as reblendable blends, based on the blend ribbon breaker. The method includes reblending the reblendable blends to produce a modified geometric model and storing the modified geometric model.
