 WHAT IS PARAMETRIC MODELLING?
 A highly controlled way of modelling with specific
dimensions and details such as geometric constraints.

 The term parametric modelling denotes the use of

parameters to control the dimensions and shape of
CAD models.

 Parametric Design – System that constructs relations

among the geometry of different elements.

 In a parametric design, when one element is changed ,

the geometry of the rest of elements are changed as
well.
 WHY PARAMETRIC MODELLING IS NEEDED?

 A simple solid model has its own limitations.

 A simple model cannot be easily manipulated or changed

once completely designed.

 Hence there was need to device a new method to allow the

designer to manipulate the as desired without losing the
design intent.

 So parametric modelling was developed, using which

manipulations can be done after the model is completed.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PARAMETRIC AND DIRECT MODELLING

DIRECT MODELLING PARAMETRIC MODELLING

Models are created using modelling Models are created using modelling
commands commands and by specifying parameters to
capture modelling features

Design cannot be modified easily Design can be modified easily, by changing

parameters

No complex geometrical relations are Complex geometrical relations are created

created

It is very easy to create direct models Relatively harder as various commands are
involved.

No mathematical equations are required Parametric models are built from a set of
mathematical equations

1) Selecting Proper Options

 Before starting the modelling, these options have to be selected.

 This settings are needed only for parametric modelling.

2) Creating Parameters
 First the parameters that have to be considered are created.

 In the following two pictures, two different parameters are added.

3) Creating Model

 The next step is to create the required model.

 Process of creating the model is exactly same as

that in direct modelling.

4) Editing Formula

 Various formulas are edited according to the

requirements.

 In this step, the dimension that is to be controlled and

the parameter created before are connected.
4) Completing The Design
 This is the final step.

 After completing the design, it can be modified easily by changing

the parameters.
 ADVANTAGES OF PARAMETRIC MODELLING

 Capability to produce flexible designs

 3D solid models offer a vast range of ways to view the model

 Better product visualization, as you can begin with simple objects with minimal details

 Better integration with downstream applications and reduced engineering cycle time

 Existing design data can be reused to create new designs

 Quick design turnaround, increasing efficiency

 LIMITATIONS OF PARAMETRIC MODELLING

 Sometime the unintended effects can even cause a model to fail.

 Lot more difficult than direct modelling.

 Updates take more time in parametric models in case of last-stage design

changes.

 Sometimes parametric modelling involves complex mathematical equations.

 Parametric 3D Modelling can become heavy-handed during concept design
