Is Behavioral Modeling simply integrating the relations manager in Pro/ENGINEER with something more like MS Excel, allowing greater manipulation of variables?
No. Behavioral Modeling offers a much more thorough approach than a simple ‘external-query’ capability. Behavioral Modeling allows engineers to better solve problems in a number of ways. Firstly it is implemented in the heart of the system – the feature-based, parametric kernel, so all behaviors and specifications are modeled right with the geometry, not through ‘external’ or peripheral constrains and equations. This allows for a more complete and robust implementation. Secondarily, engineering problems can be solved with the embedded Pro/ENGINEER Behavioral Modeling engine, without need to query and external system. In this manner it provides a rich solution for most engineering problems. For example, let’s say you need to design a tank to hold a specific volume. Rather than manipulating external equations to approximate the volume of a complex design, or iterating between making changes and manual measurements as you do in other systems, you need only specify the volume requirement a
