I-DEAS for design products provide the world's leading tool for solids-based design of mechanical parts and products. The foundation for all of I-DEAS is the I-DEAS Master Modeler, a variational design system that offers users a wide variety of capabilities for real-time, integrated variational sketching directly on a solid model. The Dynamic Navigator locates significant geometry location, and a context-sensitive predictive cursor highlights design relationships. A shape-then-size capability enables design engineers to capture their ideas immediately and specify dimensions, constraints and other design information later. As a result, users are able to pursue innovative design concepts quickly and share them with other members of the development team.
