Quiz – Design Models – 04 (Parametric Modeling)

When modeling a design computationally, one can use a conventional approach or a parametric approach. Which of the following statements are true?

In a parametric modeling environment, the relations between geometric elements and operations are modeled.
In conventional modeling the change of one element has an effect on all related elements.
With the conventional approach one models one design variant, whereas with parametric approach, one creates a model that allows to generate multiple design variants.
It is always better to model parametrically, because it is easy to formulate and change the complex geometric relations of any shape.
In order to model parametrically, one needs to have a clear idea about the rules that underlie a certain form.

Once a parametric model of a design concept is created is easy to…

create variations of the design concept.
create an entirely new design concept.

When applying parametric modeling we could differentiate between a form-based approach and a function-based approach. Please assign the following statements to the two approaches!

Sort elements

One has ideas about the form and develops a set of rules to relate geometric elements and operations in order to create variations of that form.
One is interested in creating a form with certain functions and therefore iterates through the design variants provided by a parametric model until he finds it.

Form-Based Approach
Function-Based Approach
