The concept of robust models?

[JimiH]

Hello


Would anyone like to define the concept of robust models to me?


I've seen this banded about a bit on the boards but never seen a definition.


Attached is my very basicidea of a robust model. In the attached the chamfer and thru hole locationare controlled through relations. My intent is the diameter and height of the model are subject to change but the hole and the chamfer arefixedby the rules in the relations. Would this be considered "Robust" or have I missed the point completely.


Regards


Geoff

My favorite topic. I always say that it's not how fast you model a product but how fast you change it 20 times.
