How much design time will Behavioral Modeling save?
Savings in design time will depend on particular customer applications. In some cases, Behavioral Modeling is used to automate design functions. For example, suppose you had a duct and you wanted to measure its cross section all along its length. Without Behavioral Modeling you would have to manually create a cross-sectional surface at each point along the spline of the duct where a measurement was desired, measure the area of each intersecting surface, and manually plot the result in a table or graph. This traditional process in not only time-consuming, but there is a practical limited to number of intermediate points along the length of the duct that can be collected. Using Behavioral Modeling, the measurement is defined once in a re-usable “recipe” and a graph of measurements all along the length of the duct is created with a mouse click. Not only are your measurements obtained much more quickly than if done manually, but also the “recipe” can be re-used whenever needed. Additionall
