FRIENDSHIP-Framework: Feature technology

The FRIENDSHIP-Framework provides comprehensive Feature technology and helps designers to slim their engineering process. Features are design entities that encapsulate complex tasks. Easily defined, they aggregate several separate design steps into one simple action and speed up repetitive or tedious processes.

Within the FRIENDSHIP-Framework, Feature definitions can be automatically generated from the base model. This transforms frequently employed geometries into adjustable entities and makes them available for future use.  By way of automated generation the designer's work load is minimized and the design process is speeded up significantly.  Moreover, Feature definitions can be encapsulated into Feature assemblies. This nesting of Features further condenses the access to functionality, reducing complexity and data volume. Nesting Features also enables the application of curve engines and meta surfaces in Feature definitions.
