WHAT IS PARAMETERIC
 WE CAN MODIFY THE PARAMETERS AT ANY STAGE OF
MODELLING. WE CAN ADD FUNCTIONAL RELATION BETWEEN
PARAMETERS & FEATURES
BIDIRECTONAL ASSOCIATIVE
 IF WE CHANGE ANY PARAMETERS IN ANY WORK BENCH THAT
WILL ALSO AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE IN OTHER WORK BENCH.
HIGHER END
 IF NUMBERS OF MODULE PRESENT LIKE CAD,CAM AND CAE.
