ABSTRACT:
A user emulation module is operable to emulate generating a feature by a user by issuing graphical user interface based commands in a computer aided design system associated with either a source technical system or a target technical system. An associated pattern recognition module is operable to analyze a parametric feature definition from the source technical system and identify one or more parametric feature definitions in the target technical system that achieve an equivalent result.
