Programming in the model
Maryam M. Maleki, Robert F. Woodbury · 2010
Programming in the model locates programming elements and tasks contiguous with computer aided design (CAD) models. It aims to reduce the separation between acts of programming, modeling and design, using both spatial coincidence to reduce task shifting and common CAD techniques to simplify the expression of code. Using techniques from visual programming, parametric modeling and CAD selection we demonstrate how programming in the model can express the core steps in a very simple simulation algorithm.
