Patent ID: 8069019

Claim:
A method for aiding in positioning of a first object relative to a second object according to at least one constraint associated with the relative position of the first and second objects, the method comprising: selecting a parametric model associated with each of the first and second objects; displaying a numerical model of the second object according to the parametric model associated with the second object; positioning the first object relative to the second object according to parameters of the parametric models associated with the first and second objects; displaying a numerical model of the first object according to the parametric model associated with the first object and according to the positioning; selecting at least one parametric model comprising a modeling of the at least one constraint; for the at least one parametric model comprising the modeling of the at least one constraint, acquiring at least one datum associated with the position of at least one of the first and second objects, and evaluating the at least one constraint according to the at least one datum.
