Parametric transformation of bodies and surfaces capabilities.

edited June 2017 in FeatureScript
This question is out of curiosity, are there any plans (or parasolid kernel capabilities) to implement in featurescript functionality that allows to perform parametric 3d transformation by the given law (x',y',z')=F(x,y,z) of solid bodies and surfaces. It would significantly increase shaping capabilities available to the user. By another words I'd like to know if there might be avaliable "mathematical-level" acsess to the body defenitions?

    For affine F, you can use opTransofrm.  For the types of F you're thinking about, Parasolid does support this kind of thing and we eventually plan to expose it, but probably not this year -- the challenge is that for this to work well, F must be really fast to evaluate, so we'd need to build some sort of compilation ability for a subset of FS or some general enough expression sublanguage.

    Thanks for inside, Ilya.
